This problem is inspired by the Stern-Gerlach experiments with neutrons. The mag- netic moment of a neutron is 9.6623 x 10-2 in SI units, and its mass is m 1.6749 x 10-27 kg. A collimated beam of neutrons of energy 1 eV is injected along the x axis, in a region where the magnetic field varies along y as e) Determine the length L needed for neutrons with up and down (parallel and anti- parallel to B respectively) magnetic moments to be separated in velocity by 10 when they exit at z L
