a Rearrange f_{0} = \frac{γB_{0}}{2π} to give gyromagnetic ratio
γ = \frac{2πf_{0}}{B_{0}} = \frac{2 × π × 42.6 × 10^{6}}{1.0} = 2.68 × 10^{8} Hz T^{–1}
For a field of 2.5 T, f_{0} = \frac{γB_{0}}{2π}
= \frac{2.68 × 10^{8} × 2.5}{2 × π} = 106.5 MHz
b This is also their resonant frequency (106.5 MHz).
