Fantastic news! We've Found the answer you've been seeking!
Question:
- A cold hydrogen atom might have its electron oriented "wrong" magnetically; the electron will "flip its spin" to align its magnetic moment with the proton's B-field . When it does this, the atom (mostly the electron) emits a photon with energy 5.92E6 eV.
- a) calculate this photon's frequency .
- b) calculate this photon's momentum .
- c) calculate this photon's wavelength.
