Question:

A hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from a 2p state to the Is ground state. In the absence of a magnetic field, the energy of the photon emitted is 122 nm. The atom is then placed in a strong magnetic field in the z-direction. Ignore spin effects; consider only the interaction of the magnetic field with the atom's orbital magnetic moment.
(c) One observed wavelength with the field is longer than the wavelength without the field. What are the initial and final m, values for the transition that produces a photon of this wavelength?
(d) Repeat part (c) for the wavelength that is shorter than the wavelength in the absence of the field.
