Question

A sulfur-containing cigar was used to better visualize the results of this experiment. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this 1922 experiment, in which two distinct beams in an inhomogeneous magnetic field split due to intrinsic angular momentum.
ANSWER: Stern-Gerlach experiment
[10m] By using a beam of silver atoms, the Stern-Gerlach experiment proved the quantization of this quantity, which is the intrinsic angular momentum of a particle.
ANSWER: spin
[10e] Since they have half-integer values for spin, Fermions obey an “exclusion principle” named for this Austrian scientist who also proposed the existence of neutrinos.
ANSWER: Wolfgang Pauli [accept Pauli exclusion principle]
