Physicists in France have used pairs of bouncing droplets on a fluid surface to simulate the Zeeman effect – a phenomenon that played an important role in the early development of quantum mechanics.

THE investigations of McNair (Phys. Review, 31, 986; 1928) have shown the complicated behaviour of the Zeeman patterns of the mercury resonance line, 2537 A., in emission. Some observations made in ...

AN interesting dynamical illustration of the Zeeman effect may be made by fixing a gyroscope so that its axis of rotation is the line of suspension of a pendulum bar so suspended as to be capable of ...

So what is the site about? Hyperphysics is a network of cross-linked articles on topics from acceleration to the Zeeman effect — essentially an online physics encyclopedia. Unlike some sites featured ...

More often than you think, scientific progress starts with a simple statement: “Huh, that’s funny…” That’s the sign that someone has noticed something peculiar, and that’s the raw fuel of science ...
