Measurements made on the line spectrum emitted by a certain atom of intermediate Z show that the ratio of the separation energies between three adjacent levels of increasing energy in a particular multiplet is approximately 3 to 5 (that is the energy difference between the second and the third member of the multiplet is 5/3 of the energy difference between the first and the second member of the multiplet.)

- A magnetic field is applied to a freely floating uniform iron sphere with radius R = 2.00 mm. The sphere initially had no net magnetic moment, but the field aligns 12% of the magnetic moments of the atoms (that is, 12% of the magnetic moments of the loosely bound electrons in the sphere, with one such electron per atom).

- In 1927 T. 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.
