Suppose a hydrogen atom in its ground state moves 130 cm through and perpendicular to a vertical magnetic field that has a magnetic field gradient dB/dz = 1.2 × 102 T/m. (a) What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the field gradient on the atom due to the magnetic moment of the atom's electron, which we take to be 1 Bohr magneton? (b) What is the vertical displacement of the atom in the 130 cm of travel if its speed is 2.2 × 105 m/s?
