Operating Frequency
The operating (or Larmor) frequency of a magnet is calculated from the Larmor equation
where is the actual strength of the magnet in units like teslas or gauss, and is the gyromagnetic ratio of the nucleus being tested which is in turn calculated from its magnetic moment and spin number with the nuclear magneton and the Planck constant h:
Thus, the proton operating frequency for a 1 T magnet is calculated as:

“... the modern drama, operating through the double channel of dramatist and interpreter, affecting as it does both mind and heart, is the strongest force in developing social discontent, swelling the powerful tide of unrest that sweeps onward and over the dam of ignorance, prejudice, and superstition.”
