Larmor equation

   

The Larmor equation in physics, named for Irish physicist Joseph Larmor, is

ω = γ B

The equation describes the relationship between the angular frequency ω of a precessing proton, and the strength of the magnetic field B. Here γ is the gyromagnetic ratio, a constant unique to the nucleus of each element.
