==Applications== ===Astrophysics=== George Ellery Hale was the first to notice the Zeeman effect in the solar spectra, indicating the existence of strong magnetic fields in sunspots. Such fields can be quite high, on the order of 0.1 Tesla or higher. Today, the Zeeman effect is used to produce magnetograms showing the variation of magnetic field o...

• The widening and duplication, triplication, etc., of spectral lines when the radiations emanate in a strong magnetic field, first observed in 1896 by P. Zeeman, a Dutch physicist, and regarded as an important confirmation of the electromagnetic theory of light.

this is the effect of overcoming the normal degeneracy of electron spin states by applying a magnetic field which can interact with the magnetic moment of the electron. This is observed when atoms are subjected to a powerful magnetic field resulting in the spectral lines being split into a number of component lines.

Also known as Zeeman splitting, the broadening or splitting of a spectral line into several polarized components when the source is in a strong magnetic field; it is named after the Dutch physicist Pieter Zeeman (1865-1943). Because the amount of Zeeman splitting and of polarization depend on the ma...

The Zeeman effect is the splitting of the lines in a spectrum when the source of the spectrum is exposed to a magnetic field. It was discovered in 1896 by P. Zeeman. In the normal Zeeman effect a single line is split into three if the field is perpendicular to the light path or two lines if the field is parallel to the light path. This effect can b...

The splitting of spectral lines when an external magnetic field is applied.Discovered in 1896 by P. Zeeman. In the normal Zeeman effect a single line is split into three if the field is perpendicular to the light path or two lines if the field is parallel to the light path. This effect can be explained by classical electromagnetic principles in ter...

the dividing of a spectral line or lines as a result of placing a radiation source in a magnetic field. The division consists of three equally spaced linesin systems for which the spin quantum number is zero, or of three or more unequally spaced linesin systems for which the spin quantum number is not zero. Also calledCf.
