The Zeeman effect (Dutch: [ˈzeːmɑn]) is the splitting of a spectral line into several components in the presence of a static magnetic field. It is caused by the interaction of the magnetic field with the magnetic moments of the atomic electrons associated with their orbital motion and spin; this interaction shifts some orbital energies more than others, resulting in the split spectrum.
