The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio between the mass and the charge of the electron.
More Quotes from Pieter Zeeman:
It was natural that, soon after I had succeeded in splitting up lines, I should also study how the different lines behave in this respect.Pieter Zeeman
It was not simply out of a spirit of contradiction that I exposed a light source to magnetic forces. The idea came to me during an investigation of the effect discovered by Kerr on light reflected by magnetic mirrors.
Pieter Zeeman
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.
Pieter Zeeman
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.
Pieter Zeeman
On the basis of Lorentz's theory, if we limit ourselves to a single spectral line, it suffices to assume that each atom (or molecule) contains a single moving electron.
