anomalous Zeeman effect	measuring the difference between right-hand and left-hand polarization across a spectral line.	spectral line width	splitting of spectral lines into more than two components	Zeeman effect	optics	the influence of magnetic fields on both the orbital angular momentum and the spin angular momentum of electrons in atoms or ions	Zeeman effet in which spectral lines are split into several components, in contrast to the normal Zeeman effect which results in only two distinct components.
