2D1/2 will split into ______ components in magnetic field.

2D1/2 will split into ______ components in magnetic field.

Explanation
  • The splitting in a magnetic field is determined by the formula 2j+12j + 1, where jj is the total angular momentum quantum number.
  • For 2D1/22D_{1/2}, j=1/2j = 1/2, so the number of components is 2(1/2)+1=6.
