What was used in the Stern-Gerlach experiment to creat an inhomogeneous magnetic field?
The Stern-Gerlach experiment is always performed with the beam of nuetral atoms wouldn't be easier to form beam using ionized atoms? Why wouldn't this work?
What would be the outcome of the Stern-Gerlach experiment if
(a) a homogeneous (as opposed to inhomogeneous) magnetic field was used?
(b) silver atoms were like classical magnets?
Discuss if the beam of silver atoms would get split or not.
Suppose that the beam direction is +x, and the magnetic field B is applied in the z direction.

- In 1927 T. E. Phipps and J. B. Taylor of the University of Illinois reported an important experiment similar to the Stern-Gerlach experiment but using hydrogen atoms instead of silver. This was done because hydrogen is the simplest atom, and the separation of the atomic beam in the inhomogeneous magnetic field would allow a clearer interpretation. The atomic hydrogen beam was produced in a discharge tube having a temperature of 663 K. The highly collimated beam passed along the x direction through an inhomogeneous field (of length 3 cm) having an average gradient of 1240 T/m along the z direction.
