Spin-orbit Coupling

Spin-Orbit Coupling is a quantum mechanical interaction in which the intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of a particle couples with its orbital motion due to relativistic effects, resulting in a splitting of energy levels in atomic systems or influencing orbital dynamics in celestial bodies under general relativistic corrections.
