A beam of gaseous hydrogen atoms is emitted from a hot furnace and passed through a magnetic field onto a detector screen. The interaction of the electron of the hydrogen atom and the magnetic field causes the hydrogen atom to be deflected from a straight line path. A tiny, permanent spot develops where an atom strikes the screen. If the spin of the electron in a hydrogen atom (only 1 electron) was completely random, which of the following patterns would be observed on the screen?
