Answer:
The probability that the object will emerge from the + side of this device is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Orienting the magnetic field in a Stern-Gerlach device in some direction(y - direction) perpendicular to the direction of motion of the atoms in the beam, the atoms will emerge in two possible beams, corresponding to ±(1/2)h. The positive sign is usually referred to as spin up in the direction, the negative sign as spin down in the explanation, the separation has always been in the y direction. There can be some other cases where magnetic field may be orientated in x-direction or z-direction.
