Of course the light source must be very restricted for the large number of beams corresponding to the various kinds of light to appear separately.
More Quotes from Pieter Zeeman:
According to well-known electrodynamic laws, an electron moving in a magnetic field is acted upon by a force which runs perpendicular to the direction of motion of the electron and to the direction of the magnetic field, and whose magnitude is easily determined.Pieter Zeeman
A beam of compound light is no longer reflected by the lined surface in the ordinary way instead each special kind of light follows its own path.

I should point out, however, that at first some difficulty was experienced in observing the phenomena predicted by the theory, owing to the extreme smallness of the variations in the period of oscillation.
Pieter Zeeman
In the absence of a magnetic field the period of all these oscillations is the same. But as soon as the electron is exposed to the effect of a magnetic field, its motion changes.

Moreover, photography has made it possible to fix these images and now provides us with a permanent record of each observed spectrum, which can be measured out at any time.

The rotation of the polarization plane is extraordinarily small in all gases, thus also in sodium vapour.
