There exists in nature a particle known as the muon. It is just a heavy electron with a mass mµ = 207me. It decaysin 10−6seconds. Suppose there exists a molecule analogous to H+2(two protons + 1 electron), but with the electronreplaced by a muon:(a) Find the equilibrium separation of the nuclei (R0) in such a molecule.(b) If a rotational state is excited, estimate the wavelength of the emitted radiation in the transition to the groundstate

Consider the original Stern–Gerlach experiment employing an atomic beam of silver, for which the magnetic moment is due entirely to the spin of the single valence electron of the silver atom. Assuming the magnetic field B has magnitude 0.500 T, compute the energy difference in electron volts of the silver atoms in the two exiting beams.

A magnetic field is applied to a freely floating uniform iron sphere with radius R = 2.00 mm. The sphere initially had no net magnetic moment, but the field aligns 12% of the magnetic moments of the atoms (that is, 12% of the magnetic moments of the loosely bound electrons in the sphere, with one such electron per atom). The magnetic moment of those aligned electrons is the sphere’s intrinsic magnetic moment .What is the sphere’s resulting angular speed v?

You are working on determining the angle that separates two hybridized orbitals. In the process of determining the coefficients in front of the various atomic orbitals, you align the first one along the z-axis and the second in the x/z-plane (so o = 0). The second hybridized orbital was determined to be: W2 = R1s + R2p, sin 0 + R2p, cos 0 Determine the angle, 0, in degrees to one decimal place (XX.X) that separates these two orbitals. Assume that the angle will be between 0 and 90 degrees.
