Question

There exist subatomic particles whose spin is characterized by s=1, rather than the s=12 of electrons. These particles are said to have a spin of one.

Part A

What is the magnitude (as a multiple of ?) of the spin angular momentum S for a particle with a spin of one?

Part B

What are the possible values of the spin quantum number?

Enter your answers in ascending order separated by commas.

Part C

Draw a vector diagram similar to Figure 42.14 in the textbook to show the possible orientations of S?

Draw the force vectors with their tails at the dot. The orientation of your vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors will not be graded but the relative length of one to the other will be graded.

Explanation / Answer

A) The spin angular momentum S = ms h (cut) = 1 * h (cut)

B) The spin quantum number S = [ s (s +1)]1/2 =   [ 1* (1 +1)]1/2 = [ 2]1/2   

Figure is missing. unable to do remaining parts.
