Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I did accidentally forget that the U.S. allows bachelor-degree holders to immediately pursue a Ph.D. After some thought, though, I honestly do not see myself doing another 4-5 years of education. That said, thank you for providing your opinions...

@StatGuy2000, thank you for the great questions! I'll try my best and answer them below. This is a complicated one to answer. Due to COVID-19 and my ability to learn remotely, I have lived in both Japan (study abroad) and Taiwan for the past two years. That said, I am an in-person student at an...

Thank you all for sharing a good deal of valuable information here. I do really appreciate it! Great! I will definitely keep this in mind. Thanks for the tip! I admit, a salesman position is a potential career option I did not consider. Thank you for putting this on my radar! In addition...

I got one year left in my physics undergraduate education. However, after doing some research on what to do for the future, I began to become increasingly lost on what to do after I graduate. Therefore, I hope the physics community here could provide some insight and advice on the matter. To...

Wow, thank you for taking the time to provide a step-by-step derivation! I found it both quite help and intriguing as well! I most certainly agree! As you quoted once, "It is mostly the clarity and simplicity that makes for good physics, rather than the complexity and degree of difficulty"...

Thank you for the words of advice! Because of your kind help, I was able to successfully complete the provided lab exercise and found the process to be quite entertaining as well. I learned a lot from this exchange of dialogue and you were an incredible blessing to help walk me through the...

On second thought, as mentioned once, I was creating a ##\delta/\Delta## versus ##B## graph. In other words, for slope, I get: $$m = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{\delta}{\Delta B}$$ Therefore, to find the value of ##\mu_B## from a graph of a normal Zeeman effect, I can get the below equation. $$\mu_B =...

Yes, you are correct. The value of thickness ##t## is ##3## mm and the index of refraction ##\mu## would be ##1.456## for a normal Zeeman effect with a red cadmium line (i.e. ##\lambda = 643.85## nm). However, for an anomalous Zeeman effect, the index of refraction changes to ##1.452## for the...

Thank you for the additional clarification as well as noting some of the algebra errors in the given link! I'll look over the content again. Also, for the Bohr magneton equation you acquired, I am assuming that is for the anomalous Zeeman effect, correct?

Great, this helps a lot in reinforcing my understanding on the calculations I have been doing thus far. Once again, you have been an amazing help and thank you so much for taking the time to assist me through the physics content. On that note, I'll get back to calculating and see what results I...

Thank you for the fast response. If you do not mind me clarifying, for a given ##B##, I should be making the below calculations, correct? *Note the the red coloring is just there to indicate they are the same quantities.

I just got on Physics Forums and noticed your new post. Thank you so much for the informative explanation here. It is incredibly helpful. Inputting all the necessary data onto an excel sheet, the average ##\delta/\Delta## is looking great and within expectations. On that note, I do have a quick...

@Charles Link, here's the update on the ongoing process and I have run into some (hopefully) simple questions that are eluding me. But, first, some background data. Below are some of the data I acquired: Order 1: Order 2: Order 3: Ring 1 = 40 units Ring 1 = 70 units Ring 1 = 90 units Ring...

Thank you for the clarification! So, I just need to evaluate the three equations I had earlier (with the last equation having the ##\Delta## change you mentioned) then and find the average number. The calculation process should be relatively straightforward. I'll give it a go at it. Thank you...

For my case, I did the experiment with 9 different coil currents going from I = 0 A to I = 8 A (increasing at an increment of 1 A). Therefore, I ought to have 9 data points for my line graph, correct? From what I gather, my instructor only requests that I calculate the "delta ratio" values for...
