Zeeman effect Definition and 68 Threads

Lets say we emit a photon from the ground out towards the sky , and as the photon travels away from Earth it gets red-shifted . In stead of canceling the shift by using the Doppler effect like they did in the pound-rebka experiment , we use the zeeman effect to alter the discrete energy...

Hello all, I am confused with naming of the Zeeman effect (in nuclear or/and electronic levels). Is that means: 1. splitting of spectral lines due to internal magnetic field, or 2. splitting of spectral lines due to external magnetic field, or 3. splitting of spectral lines due to...

If electrons orbit an atom in discrete energy levels like n= 1 , 2, 3 ... and they never orbit in between the ground state and the first excited state . then why should a magnetic field break this rule and push the electron a little bit so when it relaxes back down it emits a longer...

Homework Statement I have problems with calculation of the Zeemans effect. A natrium lamp is being placed in magnetic field with B=0.4T. Calculate the Zeemans effect for the states 3s j=1/2 and 3 p j=1/2 The only problem i get in this calculations is the Landes factor...can get the right...

I am doing an Atomic & Molecular physics course in Germany as part of my year abroad. A notation that is used in this course to denote energy levels is in the form below. I cannot find a good explanation of how it works, (and this may sound stupid) but i cannot find a mention of it in the notes...

Homework Statement I'm supposed to determine e/m using Zeeman effect. B=0.45 T Difference between two spectral lines is also known (0.649x10^10 Hz)Homework Equations Normal or anomalous Zeeman effect? How you know it? I'm guessing normal, so \Delta E = m_{l} \frac{e \hbar}{2m_{e}}B \Delta E =...

Suppose for a system with two levels with corresponding rotational quantum number J=2 and J=1, each of these have sublevels corresponding to J=2: m_J=-2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and J=1: m_J=-1, 0, 1, tune the external field such that we have transitions corresponds to \Delta m_J=-1, 0, 1. So how many...

So I am doing a practical on the Zeeman effect, and have not been able to find an answer to the following: The experiment used a cadmium lamp, with it's light going though a fabry-perot interferometer. When the magnetic field was applied perpendicular to the direction of the interferometer...

Basically, what is the Zeeman Effect and how is it caused. This isn't really a homework question, just trying to clear up my understanding and for my own notes. Ok well, this is what my current understanding is: The normal Zeeman Effect to be the splitting of spectral lines when a magnetic...

Hi, quick question: I have been told that the weak field regime is when the spin orbit interaction dominates over the Zeeman effect. What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that the energy shift relative to the gross energy due to the S-O interaction is much greater than the energy shift...

Homework Statement A hydrogen atom is interacting with an external magnetic field. 1. Derive the equation for the g_F-factor of the hyperfine states. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Okay, so the question asks to define the gF factor, however, I am not quite sure...

hello all how we can study the zeeman effect on molecule what is the bases to do it or it is the same for atoms.

Homework Statement The Zeeman components of a 500 nm spectral line are 0.0116 nm apart when the magnetic field is 1.00 T. Find the e/m ratio for the electron from these data Homework Equations Seperation of the Zeeman Components frequency(v)=eb/4x3,14xm The Attempt at a Solution from here...

Homework Statement Calculate the wavelengths for all the allowed transitions of the 3p to 3s states of 23Na atoms in a magnetic field of 2T. Homework Equations (energy splitting) V = μB B mj g (Lande g factor) g = 1 + {[(J(J+1)+S(S+1)-L(L+1)] / 2J(J+1)}...

Homework Statement Deduce the expression of Lande g factors from Zeeman effect Homework Equations For Zeeman effect, we treat the energy perturbation as \vec{S}\cdot\vec{L}, where S is the spin and L is the orbital momentum. Let magnetic field along z direction so the energy correction...

Homework Statement When is Zeeman effect interaction 0? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I was thinking that when l=0, then Zeeman effect interaction should be 0 because when l =0, we only have ml = 0. So, zeeman effect interaction should be zero. I haven't...

Homework Statement Consider an atom composed of a proton nucleus and an orbiting negatively charged muon (which has a mass of 207*(mass of an electron)). What difference, if any, would you expect between the Zeeman Effect in such atoms and in ordinary hydrogen atoms? (Hint: the muon has spin...

Im dong the zeeman effect for Mercury trasitions 3S1 --> 3P0/1/2 (Violet, Blue and Green lines). I've taken CCD pictures of all lines in a weak B field and with polaroid placed parallel and perpendicularly, and produced graphs of pixel value v column number (intensity v horizontal position)...
