Q1: A beam of neutral silver atoms coming from your grandmother's really hot oven is sent through a Stern-Gerlach (SG) magnet whose inhomogeneous magnetic field is oriented in the \( \hat{z} \) direction. Answer the following questions. a: After the particles pass through the magnet, the atoms hit the detecting screen only at two points. What does this result tell us about the silver atom? b: If we change orientation of the magnets by some angle, to how many different parts will the same beam split? Why? c: Why do we have to take a inhomogeneous (changing in space) magnetic field to see the splitting? d: What is the part of the Hamiltonian that describes the interaction of the silver atom with the magnetic field?
