Chapter 16, Problem 16.6E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The allowed electronic transitions for a ${\text{S}}^{\text{1}}\to {\text{P}}^{\text{1}}$ transition with and without a magnetic field are to be drawn and labeled. An explanation as to how the total number of allowed transitions differs is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The phenomenon of splitting of a spectral line when a magnetic field is applied to it is known as Zeeman Effect. Magnetic field strength can be measured by using the Zeeman Effect. Applications of Zeeman Effect include NMR spectroscopy, MRI and electron spin resonance spectroscopy.
