Consider a hydrogen atom in the 3s state. A beam of these atoms passes through a Stern-Gerlach apparatus with a magnet of length 50 cm.
(a) Calculate the field gradient Be necessary to make the force on the atoms 100 times the weight of the atom.
(b) What should be the energy of each atom in the beam such that its deflected displacement is 1 cm?
