Chapter 16, Problem 16.29E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The wavenumber of the microwave radiation absorbed by an unpaired electron in a magnetic field of $3476$ gauss that has a $g_{\text{e}}$ value of $2.0058$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Electron spin resonance is the method to study the materials with an unpaired electron. An unpaired electron absorbs the microwave radiation under the strong magnetic field. The difference between two energy levels is calculated by the formula shown below.

$\Delta E_{\text{mag}}=g_{\text{e}}\cdot {\mu }_{\text{B}}\cdot B$
