Which of the following does NOT describe a spin-spin relaxation time (T2) in nuclear magnetic resonance?
A)T2 is a constant that describes the return to equilibrium of transverse magnetization.
B)T2 is always smaller than spin lattice relaxation time (T1).
C)T2 is the time to reduce transverse magnetization by a factor of E)
D)T2 is different for different samples and biological tissues.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

T2, or spin-spin relaxation time, can be longer or shorter than T1, the spin-lattice relaxation time, depending on the specific system being observed. The statement that T2 is always smaller than T1 is not universally true, as their relationship varies with the material or tissue type and the magnetic field strength.
