shows that atoms have a property called spin. When the z-component of the spin is measured, one always gets one of two values: spin up or spin down;
Learning Goals
•Describe the observations made in the Stern-Gerlach experiment.
•Describe how spins behave in the presence of a magnetic field.
•Recognize that spin is quantized.
•Describe how measuring spin along some direction changes its state.
