Answer

$$ \boldsymbol{B} = 0.5331~\text{T} $$

Work Step by Step

$\textbf{First}, \text{we calculate the energy of the photon using eq (38.2) as follows:}$ $$ \begin{align*} E_{\gamma} &= hf\\ & = \left( 6.626\times 10^{-34}~\text{J}\cdot\text{s} \right) \times (22.7 \times 10^{6}~\text{s}^{-1})\\ & = 1.50\times 10^{-26}~\text{J} \end{align*} $$ $\text{The energy of the photon equals the energy difference between the two states ( in which$ \\ $ the nuclear spin component is parallel and antiparallel to the field ) }$ $$ \Delta E = E_\gamma = 1.50\times 10^{-26}~\text{J}$$ $\text{The energy of the state in which the spin component is parallel to the field is given by:} $ $$ U_{\parallel} = -|\mu_z| B$$ $\text{And, the energy of the state in which the spin component is anti-parallel to the field is given by:} $ $$ U_{\nparallel} = |\mu_z| B$$ $\text{Clearly, we can see that: }$ $$ U_{\parallel} = -U_{\nparallel}$$ $\text{Thus, :}$ $$ \begin{align*} \Delta E &= U_{\nparallel} - U_{\parallel} = 2U_{\nparallel}\\ U_{\nparallel} &= \dfrac{\Delta E}{2}\\ & = \dfrac{1.50\times 10^{-26}~\text{J}}{2}\\ & = 7.52\times 10^{-27}~\text{J} \end{align*} $$ $\text{When the spin component of the proton is anti-parallel to the magnetic field, the interaction energy is given by:}$ $$ U_{\nparallel} = \mu_z B $$ $\text{Thus,}$ $$ \begin{align*} B &= \dfrac{U_{\nparallel}}{\mu_z} = \dfrac{7.52\times 10^{-27}~\text{J}}{(2.7928)(5.05078\times 10^{-27}~\text{J/T})}\\\\ & = 0.5331~\text{T} \end{align*} $$
