Explanation Given Info: The transition is from a p state to an s state. The original wavelength is 575.050 nm , the number of lines after splitting is 3 and the distance between the adjacent lines is 0.0462 nm . Write the equation for the energy of the transition. E = h c λ (1) Here, E is the energy of the transition h is the Planck’s constant c is the speed of light λ is the wavelength The wavelength difference between the adjacent levels is very small and thus the energy is also very small. So we can use the differentials. Differentiate equation (1). d E = − h c λ 2 d λ | d E | = h c λ 2 d λ Δ E = h c Δ λ λ 2 (2) Write the equation for the energy difference between the adjacent lines. Δ E = μ B B (3) Here, μ B is the Bohr magneton B is the value of the magnetic field Put equation (3) in (2). μ B B = h c Δ λ λ 2 Rewrite the equation for B . B = h c Δ λ μ B λ 2 The value h in electron volts is 4.136 × 10 − 15 eV ⋅ s , the value of c is 3.00 × 10 8 m/s and the value of μ B is 5.788 × 10 − 5 eV/T
