A rigorous treatment is given for solving the full Schrodinger equation for a spin-polarized plane wave passing through a region of uniform magnetic field, thereby providing a modified formula for Larmor precession, which, in turn, reduces to the standard expression in certain regimes of the experimental parameters. We show that there are experimentally verifiable regimes of departure from the standard formula. The treatment is then extended to the case of a spin-polarized wave packet passing through a uniform magnetic field. The results obtained from the standard expression for Larmor precession and that obtained from the modified formula are compared in various regimes of the experimental parameters. Implications of such an exact treatment of Larmor precession are indicated in the contexts of modeling a quantum clock as well as in the testing of single particle Bell's inequality.
