ZEEMAN EFFECT - Splitting of atomic energy levels into a larger number of levels when magnetic fields are present; the resulting spectral lines are also split. The pattern and amount of splitting indicate the strength of the magnetic field.
Zeeman effect
(a) The splitting of atomic spectral lines into two or more components in a transverse magnetic field.
(b) The splitting of spectral lines by a magnetic field.
(c) Line broadening due to the influence of magnetic fields.
Zeeman Effect
The splitting of spectral lines into multiple components when the atoms are in a magnetic field.

Zeeman effect The splitting of the frequency of light emitted by atoms, when the emission occurs in a strong magnetic field, into two or more closely spaced frequencies.
Zeeman effect - (n.)
The broadening or splitting of spectral lines caused by the presence of a (strong) magnetic field in the gas where the lines are formed.

Zeeman effect (High Energy Astrophysics Dictionary- GSFC) The splitting of the lines in a spectrum when the source is exposed to a magnetic field. It is used to measure magnetic field strengths on the Sun and on other astronomical objects.
Studies of the spectra of sunspots show evidence of the Zeeman effect, indicating the presence of a large magnetic field.
The magnetic field of a star can be measured by means of the Zeeman effect.
This is what is known as the Zeeman effect and it is caused by strong magnetic fields. This tells us that the areas of sunspots are regions with strong magnetic fields.
The Fe II lines 6149 and 6147 (M.74) are very sensitive to the Zeeman effect, but in different ways, because of their different splitting pattern and the operation of the Paschen-Back effect (Mathys 1990).
This model is supported by observations using the Zeeman effect that show that prototypical sunspots come in pairs with opposite magnetic polarity.
Hale discovered the magnetic fields of sunspots by observing the splitting of their spectral lines into a number of components; this splitting, known as the Zeeman effect, occurs in the presence of a strong magnetic field.
Hendrik Antoon Lorentz was a Netherlands physicist who shared the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics with Pieter Zeeman for the discovery and theoretical explanation of the Zeeman effect....

Notable examples are the Stark effect and the Zeeman effect, which have a simple enough theory to be included in standard undergraduate textbooks in quantum mechanics.
