Chapter 16, Problem 16.17E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The magnetic interaction energy of an electron in a magnetic field of $\text{8600}\text{G}$ is to be calculated. The resulting resonance frequency of absorption between the two spin states is to be calculated.

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.
