What kind of Zeeman effect, normal or anomalous, is observed in a weak magnetic field in the case of spectral lines caused by the follwing transitions: (a).^(1)P rarr .^(1)S,(b).^(2)D_(5//2) rarr .^(2)P_(3//2), (c ) .^(3)D_(1) rarr .^(3)P_(0) , (d) .^(5)I_(5) rarr .^(5)H_(4) ?

Answer»

Solution :(a) The term `.^(1)P_(1)` splits into `3` lines with `M_(Ƶ)`
where `g=1+(1xx2+0-1xx2)/(2xx1xx2)=1`
The term `.^(1)S_(0)` does not split in weak magnetic field. THUS the transition between `.^(1)P_(1)&.^(1)S_(0)` will result in `3` lines i.e., normal Ƶeeman triplet.
(b) The term `.^(2)D_(5//2)` will split ot in`6` terms in
accordance with the formula
`DeltaE=-gmu_(B)M_(Ƶ)`
`M_(Ƶ)= +-(5)/(2), +-(3)/(2),+-(1)/(2)`, and
`g=1+(5xx7+1xx3-4xx2xx3)/(2xx5xx7)=(6)/(5)`
THER term `.^(2)P_(3//2)` will also split into 4 lines in accordance with the above formula with
`M_(Ƶ)= +-(3)/(2)+-(1)/(2)` and `g=1+(3xx5+1xx3-4xx1xx2)/(2xx3xx5)=(4)/(3)=(4)/(3)`
It is seen that the `Z` eeman splitting is auomalous as `g` factors are DIFFERENT.
(c )`.^(3)D_(1) rarr ^(3)P_(0)`
The term `.^(3)D_(1)` splits into `3` levels`(g=5//2)`
The term `.^(3)P_(0)` does not split. Thusthe `Z` eeman spectrum is normal.
(d) For the `5l_(5)` term
`g=1+(5xx6+2xx3-6xx7)/(2xx5xx6)`
`=1+(36-42)/(60)=1-(1)/(10)=(9)/(10)`
For the `.^(5)H_(4)` term
`g=1+(4xx5+2xx3-5xx6)/(2xx4xx5)=1+(26-30)/(40)=(9)/(10)`
We see that the splitting in the two levels given by `DeltaE= 0g mu_(B)BM_(Ƶ)` is the same though the number of levels is different (11 and 9). It is then easy to see that only the lines with following energies occur
`ħ omega_(0),ħ omega_(0)+- gmu_(B)B`.
The `Z` eeman pattern is normal.
