Calculate the ionization energy of helium using the variational principle. The ionization energy is the difference between the ground state of neutral He (with two electrons), and the ground state of Het (with one electron removed). The ground state of neutral He we will calculate in class to be approximately -75 eV using the variational method.

While studying the spectrum of a gas cloud in space, an astronomer magnifies a spectral linet hat results from a transition from a p state to an s state. She finds that the line at 575.050 nm has actually split into three lines, with adjacent lines 4.60 * 10^-2 nm apart, indicating that the gas is in an external magnetic field. Ignore effects due to electron spin. What is the strength of the external magnetic field?
