Question:

A large number of hydrogen atoms in Is states are placed in an external magnetic field that is in the + z-direction. Assume that the atoms are in thermal equilibrium at room temperature, T = 300K. According to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution (see Section 38.6), what is the ratio of the number of atoms in the ms = ½ state to the number in the m, = - ½ state when the magnetic field magnitude is
(a) 5.00 x 10-5 T (approximately the earth's field);
(b) 0.500 T;
(c) 5.00 T?
