The amount of energy required to spin-flip a nucleus depends both on the strength of the external magnetic field and on the nucleus. At a field strength of 4.7 T, rf energy of 200 MHz is required to bring a 1 H nucleus into resonance, but energy of only 187 MHz will bring a 19F nucleus into resonance. Calculate the amount of energy required to spin-flip a 19F nucleus. Is this amount greater or less than that required to spin-flip a 1 H nucleus?

Question
Calculate the amount of energy required to spin-flip a proton in a spectrometer operating at 300 MHz. Does increasing the spectrometer frequency from 200 to 300 MHz increase or decrease the amount of energy necessary for resonance?
Solution
The first step in solving 13.1 problem number 2 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Calculate the amount of energy required to spin-flip a proton in a spectrometer operating at 300 MHz. Does increasing the spectrometer frequency from 200 to 300 MHz increase or decrease the amount of energy necessary for resonance?
From the textbook chapter Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy M you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
