Consider the (eight) n = 2 states, |2ℓjm_j). Find the energy of each state, under weak-field Zeeman splitting, and construct a diagram like Figure 7.10 to show how the energies evolve as  B_ext increases. Label each line clearly, and indicate its slope.

Figure 7.10: Weak-field Zeeman splitting of the ground state of hydrogen; the upper line (m_j = 1/2) has slope 1, the lower line (m_j = 1/2) has slope -1.
