Spin-Lattice and Spin-Spin Relaxation Time Question

AI Thread Summary
To determine the spin-spin relaxation time (T2) using the delay time between 90-degree and 180-degree pulses in NMR, the relevant equation is Mxy(t) = Mxy(0) e^(-t/T2). The delay time refers to the interval between these two pulse types, which is crucial for measuring T2. Understanding how to plug in values for Mxy(t), Mxy(0), and t is essential for solving the equation. This discussion emphasizes the need for clarity on these parameters to accurately calculate T2. The relationship between pulse timing and relaxation times is a fundamental aspect of NMR experiments.

Homework Statement
To find the spin-lattice relaxation time (##T_1##), I could use the below equation to get my value.

$$T_1 = \frac{T_{min}}{\ln{(2)}}$$

For the spin-spin relaxation time, however, is there a similar equation I could use as well to find for ##T_2## (i.e. the spin-spin relaxation time)?
Relevant Equations
The below equation may (or may not) come in handy.

$$M_y = M_0 e^{-t/T_2}$$
$$\ln{(I(t))} = \ln{(I_0)} - \frac{t}{T_2}$$

Note that ##I(t)## is the intensity of the echo.
Please refer to the homework statement.

Or, if one would like to put it in other words, how would I go about finding ##T_2## if I know the delay time between 90-degree and 180-degree pulses? Is there an equation that helps solve this succinctly?

can you define "delay time between 90-degree and 180-degree pulses" for a person who doesn't know nmr? what experiment does that describe? The question boils down to what values can you plug in for ##M_{xy}(t)##, ##M_{xy}(0)##and ##t##.

The ##T_2## is given using the equation

$$M_{xy}(t) = M_{xy}(0) e^{-t/T_2}$$Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(NMR)
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
