Lecture 4Atomic Spectroscopy-3 Atoms in external fields and hyperfine structure of atomic spectra (nuclear effect) The Normal Zeeman Effect Line splitting under magnetic field is called Zeeman effect. All lines due to transitions between the singlet (S=0) states of an atom show exactly similar splittings into three components with equal wavenumber separation, which are called normal triplets. This is called normal Zeeman effect. Larmor Precession Even when no external field is present, the mechanics of Larmor precession can be applied to the internal couplings between electr
