Consider the D1 and D2 transitions (3p --> 3s) of the sodium atom (Z = 11).
How to calculate the magnetic field experienced by the valence electron arising from its orbital motion, given that the wavelength difference between the D lines?
The formula that I have from lecture notes for spin-orbit interaction energy is
[tex]<V_{SL}>=\frac{Z^{4}\alpha^{2}}{n^{3}}E_{0}\frac{j(j+1)-l(l+1)-\frac{3}{4}}{l(l+1)(2l+1)}[/tex]
But I can't see any method to calculate the magnetic field from it.
