The magnetic moment vectors μs and μl associated with the intrinsicspin angular momentum S and orbital angular momentum l,respectively, of an electron are predicted by quantum theory (andverified experimentally to a high accuracy) to be given by:μs= –(e/m) S,μl = –(e/2m)lWhich of these relations is in accordance with the result expectedclassically? Outline the derivation of the classical result. |
