Question:

Consider a sample of non-interacting lithium atoms (Li, Z = 3) with the third (outer) electron in the 3p state in a uniform 4.0 T magnetic field. 

(a) Determine the fraction of the atom in the m1 = +1, 0, and -1 states at 300 K. 

(b) In the 3p → 2s transition, what will be the relative intensities of the three lines of the Zeeman effect?
