An experimenter wants to separate silver atoms in a Stern-Gerlach experiment by at least 1 cm (a large separation) as they exit the magnetic ﬁ eld. To heat the silver she has an oven that can reach 1000°C and needs to order a suitable magnet. What should be the magnet speciﬁ cations (magnet length and magnetic ﬁ eld gradient)?
