Consider a hydrogen atom in a large magnetic field. Compute the wavelengths of the photons when it transitioned from the 2p → 1s levels when the hydrogen atom is placed in a magnetic field of 2.00 Tesla.

Ignore the effects of the intrinsic electron’s spin angular momentum and only consider the effect of the orbital angular moment L on the energy levels.
The radial wave function of a quantum state of Hydrogen is given by R(r)= (1/[4(2π)^{1/2}])a^{-3/2}( 2 - r/a ) exp(-r/2a), where a is the Bohr radius.(a) Sketch the graph of R(r) x r. For a decent sketch of this graph, take into account some values of R(r) at certain points of interest, such as r=0, 2a, 4a, and so on.
