- Consider the fine structure of the
states of the
hydrogen atom. What is the spectrum in the absence of a magnetic field?
How is the spectrum changed when the atom is placed in a magnetic
field of 25,000 gauss? Give numerical values for the energy
shifts in each of the above cases. Now, try to estimate the
binding energy for the lowest energy
state including the
relativistic, spin-orbit, and magnetic field.
- Verify the relations used for

and
for hydrogen atom states up to

- Calculate the fine structure of hydrogen atoms
for spin 1 electrons for
