Chapter 16, Problem 16.40E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the $\Delta E$ beween adjacent spin states if the nuclear spin $I>\frac{1}{2}$ is the same or different depending on the $M_l$ values involved is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Spectroscopy based on the splitting of $M_l$ levels of a nuclei is termed as nuclear magnetic resonance or NMR. The splitting is due to the similar behaviour of nucleus as the electron. Like electrons, nucleus have nonzero spin and a magnetic dipole associated with it. This leads to splitting in an external magnetic field.
