Question 1 – 15 points 1. Consider the hyperfine structure of a Hydrogen atom in its ground state but assume that the nucleus has spin 1. 1a) What are the possible spin states of the atom in terms of the individual spins of the electron and the nucleus? 1b) What are the spin states in terms of the total spin basis? 1c) How many distinct hyperfine lines will such an atom have?
