Zeeman effect

Principle: The "Zeeman effect" is the splitting up of the spectral lines of atoms within a magnetic field. The simplest is the splitting up of one spectral line into three components called the "normal Zeeman effect". The normal Zeeman effect is studied using a cadmium spectral lamp as a specimen. The cadmium lamp is submitted to different magnetic flux densities and the splitting up of the red cadmium line (643.8 nm) is investigated using a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The evaluation of the results leads to a fairly precise value for Bohr's magneton.

Tasks:
1.   Using the Fabry-Perot interferometer and a selfmade telescope the splitting up of the central line into two σ-lines is measured in wave numbers as a function of the magnetic flux density.
2.   From the results of point 1. a value for Bohr's magneton is evaluated.
3.   The light emitted within the direction of the magnetic field is qualitatively investigated.
