(i) Explain how the mass of the particle(s) involved affects the separation between energy levels in quantum mechanics. (ii) Explain why the sensitivity of an NMR experiment is affected by the strength of the applied magnetic field. (iii) Explain why, to a good approximation, rotational and vibrational transitions do not change the energies of electrons.
