Zeemaneffekten
Sign in to saveAlso known as Zeeman splitting
effect of splitting a spectral line into several components in the presence of a static magnetic field
The Zeeman effect is the splitting of light's spectral lines into multiple components when a magnetic field is applied, revealing how magnetic fields influence the behavior of atoms and electrons. This phenomenon matters because it helped scientists understand the internal structure of atoms and provided evidence for quantum mechanics, making it a key discovery in modern physics.

Zeemaneffekten är en effekt, där en delning av en spektrallinje uppstår i ett magnetfält. Den har fått sitt namn efter Pieter Zeeman, som 1896 beskrev fenomenet för första gången. Motsvarande effekt av ett elektriskt fält kallas Starkeffekten.
