PM-P639 ZEEMAN EFFECT EXPERIMENTAL SETUP (WITH CCD CEMARA)
Description:
The Zeeman effect is the splitting of spectral lines of atoms when they are placed in a magnetic field. It exhibits space quantization and is one of the few fundamental atomic physics experiments which can be performed in a teaching laboratory.

Result
The interference pattern is in the form of circular rings. These are split when the magnetic field is switched on. The amount of splitting depends on the external magnetic field, charge to mass ratio of electron and Lande’s g-factors of the electronic energy levels involved in the transition. These later quantities can be obtained from this experiment.
The result of this unit are within 5% of the standard value
