PLEASE COMPLETE B) and stay tuned for my following 2 questions where I will ask part c) and d). Part a) has already been posted. The lowest energy state of a hydrogen-like atom has total angular momentum J-1/2 (from the l-O orbital angular momentum and the electron spin s 1/2). Furthermore, the nucleus also has a spin, conventionally labeled I (for hydrogen, this is the proton spin, 1 1/2). This spin leads to an additional degeneracy. For example, in the...
