This adjective describes a quantity defined as “g minus two over two” that measures the effect of quantum mechanical phenomena on electrons’ magnetic moments. For 10 points each:
[10h] Give this adjective that also names a form of the Zeeman effect in which non-zero net spin causes the appearance of alternate splitting patterns.
ANSWER: anomalous [accept anomalous magnetic moment or anomalous magnetic dipole moment or anomalous Zeeman effect]
[10m] The perturbation of an atom’s Hamiltonian due to the Zeeman effect equals this scientist’s namesake “magneton” times B m-sub-j g-sub-j. This scientist developed the correspondence principle.
ANSWER: Niels Bohr [or Niels Henrik David Bohr; accept Bohr magneton]
[10e] In that equation, m-sub-j is the z-component of the atom’s value for this quantity. This quantity is the rotational analog of linear momentum.
ANSWER: angular momentum [prompt on L]
