MCQ
The fine structure of hydrogen spectrum can be explained by:
  • A
    the presence of neutrons in the nucleus.
  • B
    the finite size of nucleus.
  • C
    the orbital angular momentum of electrons.
  • the spin angular momentum of electrons.

Answer

Correct option: D.
the spin angular momentum of electrons.

The fine structure describes the splitting of the spectral lines of atoms due to electron spin angular momentum.

The diagram below shows two circular loops of wire ( $A$ and $B$ ) centred on and perpendicular to the $X$-axis and oriented with their planes parallel to each other. The $Y$-axis passes vertically through loop $A$ (dashed line). There is a current $I_B$ in loop $B$ as shown in the diagram. Possible actions which we might perform on loop $A$ are

$(I)$ move $A$ to the right along $X$-axis closer to $B$

$(II)$ move $A$ to the left along $X$-axis away from $B$

$(III)$ as viewed from above, rotate $A$ clockwise about $Y$-axis

$(IV)$ as viewed from above, rotate $A$ anti-clockwise about $Y$-axis

Which of the actions will induce a current in $A$ only in the direction shown?
