An atom is placed in a uniform magnetic field and the spectral line corresponding to the transition from the n = 3 to n = 2 level (unperturbed wavelength \(\lambda_{0} = 656.3\,\text{nm}\)) shows a normal Zeeman splitting into three components. The measured separation between adjacent components is \(\Delta\lambda = 0.02\,\text{nm}\). Given \(\mu_{B} = 9.274\times10^{-24}\,\text{J·T}^{-1}\), \(h = 6.626\times10^{-34}\,\text{J·s}\) and \(c = 3.00\times10^{8}\,\text{m·s}^{-1}\), (a) determine the magnetic field strength \(B\), and (b) calculate the energy of the photon for the unperturbed transition in electron‑volts.

Answer Options

A. B \approx 1.5\,\text{T}; photon energy \approx 1.80\,\text{eV}
B. B \approx 0.5\,\text{T}; photon energy \approx 1.95\,\text{eV}
Correct Answer C. B \approx 1.0\,\text{T}; photon energy \approx 1.89\,\text{eV}
D. B \approx 2.0\,\text{T}; photon energy \approx 2.10\,\text{eV}
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
B \approx 1.0\,\text{T}; photon energy \approx 1.89\,\text{eV}
