Answer #1

It is known as delta..or chemical shift. It gives a measure of the response of the proton to the applied magnetic field. By formula it is calculated as

Chemical shift = precisional frequency/ strength of frequency of instruments in MEGA HERTZ.

Now this precisional frequency is the frequency with which the magnetic field of a proton rotates in presence of an applied magnetic field. It responds in accordance with the radio frequency that is given upon it by the instrument. So if we use a high frequency then the precisional frequency is high.

From the formula itself it is clear that chemical shift or delta is a ratio. And this ratio remains same for all different frequencies applied.

The strength of the magnetic field only splits the spin of the proton , it doesn't do any change in the precisional motion of the proton. So the chemical shift has no effect from strength of NMR instruments.
