Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The validation of the fact that a beam of $\text{Ag}$ atoms splits into two parts in a magnetic field leads to the conclusion that $s=\frac{1}{2}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Quantum numbers are a set of the numbers that provide information about an electron in an atom. There are four quantum numbers that are $n$, $l$, $m_l$ and $m_s$. The quantum numbers give acceptable solution for the Schrödinger wave equation. The quantum numbers are used to find the location of electron in an atom.
