A beam of hydrogen atoms is used in a Stern-Gerlach type experiment. The atoms emerge from the oven with a velocity v = 10^4m/sec. They enter a region 20 cm long where there is a magnetic field gradient . The field gradient is perpendicular to the incident velocity of the atoms. The mass of the hydrogen atom is . What is the separation of the two components of the beam as they emerge from the magnet?
