Zeeman Effect

Regular

Splitting of lines by orbital in a magnetic field.

H0+H1=p22me2rMB=μBLzB Note, [H0,H1]=0, so they share an eigenbasis since {H,L2,Lz} are a CSCO.

Split into 2+1 m levels. Thus, we have an odd number of lines.

Anomalous

Noticed when you see an even number of splitting lines (2(2+1)).

Splitting of lines by spin and orbital in a magnetic field.

Hyperfine splitting?

Need {H,L2,Lz,S2,Sz} to form a CSCO in this hyperfine splitting.
