What is the significance of gyromagnetic ratio?

The gyromagnetic ratio is a physical constant that relates the magnetic moment of an atom's nucleus to its angular momentum. It is an important factor in determining the behavior of nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance. The gyromagnetic ratio is key in understanding how nuclei interact with magnetic fields in various applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy.
