Initially aligned with a magnetic field in the +Z direction, the field is suddenly switched to the -X direction. The task is to find the oscillation frequency of the average z-component of the particle's magnetic moment, which is determined to be \u03b3B. This frequency reflects how the magnetic moment precesses around the new magnetic field direction."}
