Paragraph for question nos. 6 to 8

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are being used for medical diagnostics with a lot of success.
The proton of any atom behaves like a current carrying loop or a magnetic dipole. When an external
magnetic field is applied, this dipole tends to align itself in the direction of the magnetic field. There can be
two possible orientations of this dipole.
[1] Parallel to the magnetic field.
[2] Antiparallel to the magnetic field.
Since the potential energy of a current carrying loop in magnetic field is given by
 
U = – M · B , there is a difference of energy in these two possible orientations.
E = 2MB
Any given sample tends to be in position of minimum potential energy (orientation-1). It can absorb a
photon of appropriate energy to jump to orientation-2. This leads to reversal of spin of the proton.

In any sample, normally only protons of hydrogen atom can easily respond to this reversal of spin. But
the magnetic field used here is actually the net magnetic field at the location of proton. It is a vector sum
of external magnetic field and the internal magnetic field set up by the atoms. Different hydrogen atoms
have dfferent internal magnetic fields. eg. in ethanol.
The hydrogen atom of OH group, hydrogen atom of CH2 group and hydrogen atom of CH3 group each
have different internal magnetic field. If we keep the frequency of incident photons as constant while
increasing the external magnetic field. The energy absorbed by ethanol at different Bext is plotted.

This spectrum is unique to everygroup. This graph forms a signature bywhich we can identifythe groups
of organic atoms.

Q.6 If the net magnetic field due to all the atoms is in the same direction as the external magnetic field, choose
the correct statement. [3]
(A) Internal magnetic field at H of OH group is maximum.
(B) Internal magnetic field at H of CH2 group is maximum.
(C) Internal magnetic field at H of CH3 group is maximum.
(D) Internal magnetic field at H of all three groups are equal.

Q.7 A hydrogen atom can be in 3 different positions in a variable magnetic field whose
lines are shown below. In which of the case will the maximum photon energy be 1
