Why does that splitting of spectral line...

Why does that splitting of spectral lines occur when the source of the spectrum is placed in a magnetic field ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the presence of magnetic field, the orbitals present in a sub-shell (which were degenerate) take up different orientations. In other words, degeneracy is broken.
