| Classical
View of NMR |
|
| (compared
to Quantum view) |
|
| Precession or Larmor frequency: |
| angular
momentum (l) |
| l |
| wo |
| m |
| Bo |
|
|
| Simply, the nuclei spins
about its |
|
| axis creating a
magnetic moment m |
|
|
|
|
| Apply a large
external field (Bo) |
||
| and m will precess about Bo
at its |
||
| Larmor (w) frequency. |

| Important:
This is the same frequency obtained
from the energy |
|
| transition
between quantum states |
