Zeeman Effect Apparatus
Product Code : EL-PLE-13147
Eduscope India is a leading Zeeman Effect Apparatus
Quick Answer: Zeeman Effect Apparatus demonstrates how a strong magnetic field splits a single atomic spectral line into several closely-spaced lines.
This apparatus examines the effect of a strong magnetic field on the green emission line of mercury at 546.1nm. In the field, the transition responsible for this line splits the degenerate 7s and 6p levels into three and five levels respectively, opening up nine allowed transitions in place of the single transition seen with no field applied — so instead of one green line, the light is split into several closely-spaced lines. Because the resulting energy shifts are tiny, resolving them calls for a high-resolution spectrometer, which has often kept Zeeman effect apparatus out of the student laboratory; this set addresses that gap with a complete equipment package that includes video capture equipment and a computer analysis program for capturing and analysing the split lines, plus a magnet that allows both transverse and longitudinal viewing of the light for a fuller study of the splitting pattern. The effect is named for Dutch physicist Pieter Zeeman, who first observed it in 1896, work recognised with the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics shared with Hendrik Lorentz.

EduScope India's physics range, including the Zeeman Effect Apparatus, is exported to Southern and East African markets such as Mozambique, Malawi and Angola, supporting college and university lab equipping in the region.
This apparatus is also among the physics instruments supplier India EduScope India regularly ships through bulk institutional and government lab-equipment orders, school chains and CSR-funded science-education programs.
It is part of EduScope India's Physics Lab Equipment range, and is best studied alongside the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Apparatus and the Franck-Hertz Apparatus II, which confirm the same quantized atomic structure by different experimental routes.
