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 will transmit 50% of the particles passed through the first analyzer through the second analyzer?

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.)

A cross dipole is shown below, with the two arms centred at the z-axis, aligned along the x- and y-axes, and excited by uniform currents Ix and Iy, respectively. Using superposition and assuming the two dipoles do not interact with each other, derive an expression for the radiation intensity of the cross-dipole antenna using the auxiliary vector potential method. Use the far-field approximations (2.33) and (2.34) for determining the electric and magnetic fields.
