In a hydrogen atom, the proton is stationary at the origin of the coordinates and its spin is given by S1?=S1?z^. The electron has spin S2?=S2?z^. The potential energy of the hyperfine interaction (spin-spin) is given per U=2?m1?m2?r13??0?q1?q2??S1??S2? where M1?,q1? and m2?,q2? are the masses and charges (in modulus) of the proton and the electron. Calculate the possible electron energy values.
