E. Phipps and J. B. Taylor of the University of Illinois reported an important experiment similar to the Stern-Gerlach experiment but using hydrogen atoms instead of silver. This was done because hydrogen is the simplest atom, and the separation of the atomic beam in the inhomogeneous magnetic field would allow a clearer interpretation. The atomic hydrogen beam was produced in a discharge tube having a temperature of 663 K. The highly collimated beam passed along the x direction through an inhomogeneous field (of length 3 cm) having an average gradient of 1240 T/m along the z direction. If the magnetic moment of the hydrogen atom is 1 Bohr magneton, what is the separation of the atomic beam?arrow_forward
