Answer

$B_{int}=19\;mT$

Work Step by Step

The energy required of a photon to spin-flip the proton between the two orientations is $hf=2\mu_zB$ or, $hf=2\mu_z(B_{ext}+B_{int})$ or, $B_{int}=\frac{hf}{2\mu_z}-B_{ext}$ Substituting given values, we get $B_{int}=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times34\times10^{6}}{2\times1.41\times 10^{-26}}-0.78$ or, $B_{int}=(0.799-0.78)\;T$ or, $B_{int}=0.019\;T$ or, $B_{int}=19\;mT$ $\therefore\;$ The magnitude of $B_{int}=19\;mT$
