Suppose a hydrogen atom in its ground state moves 130 cm through and perpendicular to a vertical magnetic field that has a magne
tic field gradient dB/dz = 1.2 × 102 T/m. (a) What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the field gradient on the atom due to the magnetic moment of the atom's electron, which we take to be 1 Bohr magneton? (b) What is the vertical displacement of the atom in the 130 cm of travel if its speed is 2.2 × 105 m/s?

The motion of the light is a uniform motion with constant speed 
, therefore we can use the basic relationship between speed, space and time:
(1)
where S is the distance covered and t is the time taken. The light takes t=1.3 s to travel from the moon to Earth, therefore by rearranging eq.(1) we can find the distance between the Moon and the Earth:
