Question:

A hydrogen atom in a 3p state is placed in a uniform external magnetic field B. Consider the interaction of the magnetic field with the atom's orbital magnetic dipole moment. 

(a) What field magnitude B is required to split the 3p state into multiple levels with an energy difference of 2.71 x 10-5eV between adjacent levels? 

(b) How many levels will there be?
