Chapter 16, Problem 16.16E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The energies for the microwave radiation frequencies used in ESR spectroscopy in terms of $\text{J}/\text{photon}$ are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In the ESR spectroscopy, the sample is exposed to the monochromatic microwave radiation and varying magnetic field. In the magnetic field, the splitting of spin occurs between the two spin states having different directions. These have different energies. The exposure of the electromagnetic radiation is responsible for the transition between two spin states.
