Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The value of qnuc for 6Li atoms is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Different linearly independent wavefunctions that have same energy are called degenerate. This is expressed in terms of degeneracy. If two functions are having same energy then they are called doubly degenerate and so on. The degeneracy for nuclear state is given as,

g1=2I+1

Where,

I represents the nuclear spin.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)
