anomalous Zeeman effect

subject fact

anomalous Zeeman effect has effect splitting of spectral lines into more than two components has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:29:44.0
has cause the influence of magnetic fields on both the orbital angular momentum and the spin angular momentum of electrons in atoms or ions
has definition 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. has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:29:44.0
is a kind of Zeeman effect

Zeeman effect is measured by measuring the difference between right-hand and left-hand polarization across a spectral line.

line broadening changes property spectral line width

optical process has domain optics
