  1. Question 1

    Q1. A physicist investigates the Zeeman effect in molecular spectra. Which phenomenon does the Zeeman effect involve?

    • A) Splitting of spectral lines due to external magnetic field
    • B) Broadening of spectral lines due to Doppler effect
    • C) Shift of spectral lines due to temperature change
    • D) Absorption of light due to electron transitions

    Answer: Splitting of spectral lines due to external magnetic field

    Explanation: The Zeeman effect is a splitting of spectral lines due to an external magnetic field, not the other options.
