Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 6P
Consider the original Stern–Gerlach experiment employing an atomic beam of silver, for which the magnetic moment is due entirely to the spin of the single valence electron of the silver atom. Assuming the magnetic field B has magnitude 0.500 T, compute the energy difference in electron volts of the silver atoms in the two exiting beams.

A magnetic field is applied to a freely floating uniform iron sphere with radius R = 2.00 mm. The sphere initially had no net magnetic moment, but the field aligns 12% of the magnetic moments of the atoms (that is, 12% of the magnetic moments of the loosely bound electrons in the sphere, with one such electron per atom). The magnetic moment of those aligned electrons is the sphere’s intrinsic magnetic moment .What is the sphere’s resulting angular speed v?
Calculate the (a) smaller and (b) larger value of the semiclassical angle between the electron spin angular momentum vector and the magnetic field in a Stern–Gerlach experiment. Bear in mind that the orbital angular momentum of the valence electron in the silver atom is zero.
An experimenter wants to separate silver atoms in a Stern-Gerlach experiment by at least 1 cm (a large separation) as they exit the magnetic fi eld. To heat the silver she has an oven that can reach 1000°C and needs to order a suitable magnet. What should be the magnet specifi cations (magnet length and magnetic fi eld gradient)?
