Abstract
From the WKB solutions to the squared Dirac equation we derive the classical trajectories and spin precessions originally postulated by Bargmann, Michel, and Telegdi for charged spin-½ particles. Identical equations of motion are obtained from the WKB solutions to the Dirac equation.Keywords
