the magnet used in a stern gerlach experiment is .15 m long and has a field gradient of dB/dz = 9T/m over its full length. If a beam of sodium atoms of speed 600 m/s passes through this magnet and then strikes a photographic plate at a distance of .80 m beyond the magnet, what will be the separation between the two impact zones on the film? sodium has a total angular momentum quantum number J=1/2, contributed by the spin of the single electron in the 3s subshell.

It is not possible to do a Stern-Gerlach experiment on a free electron to measure its spin magnetic dipole moment; it is only possible if the electron is in a neutral atom. Explain why. (Hint: There is a superficial answer, which has a superficial rebuttal. A complete answer involves the uncertainty principle.)

You have set up an experiment where two Stern-Gerlach analyzers sequentially measure spin along the z-axis. The first analyzer allows particles with spin up along z to pass. The second analyzer allows particles with spin down along z to pass. Between the two analyzers is a magnetic field aligned along +x. Your experiment sends identical spin-1/2 particles at speed v along the y-axis through the analyzers, which are separated by a distance Δy. What is the smallest distance Δy that...
