-
but we don't care about it,
-
at least not until next semester
-
when we talk about nuclear magnetic resonance,
-
because the electric field
-
is so much stronger in its effect on molecules.
-
Now, its effect is on charges; on electrons, on protons,
-
therefore on nuclei.
-
Now, accelerated electrons scatter light.
-
So here comes the light in.
-
We'll see if this works.
-
Okay, so it makes the electron go up and down,
-
as the light goes by.
