I suppose that the peaks can be used to get a difference in the wave number for the transition, and from that I can get the energy difference! Am I thinking right here?kuruman said:
The intensity of the transitions? But It does not really help me to know which peaks corresponds to the transition I'm looking forvela said:

The energy difference between what and what? Each peak is a photon energy which is a difference between energy levels. There is also an energy difference between peaks. I suggest that you look up “Zeeman effect”.Rayan said:
The Zeeman effect is the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of a magnetic field. It occurs when the energy levels of atoms or molecules are perturbed by the magnetic field, leading to the splitting of spectral lines into multiple components.
The energy difference between the peaks in the Zeeman effect can be calculated using the formula ΔE = gμBΔm, where ΔE is the energy difference, g is the Landé g-factor, μB is the Bohr magneton, and Δm is the change in magnetic quantum number.
The energy difference between the peaks in the Zeeman effect is affected by factors such as the strength of the magnetic field, the Landé g-factor of the atom or molecule, and the quantum numbers of the energy levels involved.
The energy difference between the peaks in the Zeeman effect provides valuable information about the structure and properties of atoms and molecules. It can be used to determine the Landé g-factor, study the effects of magnetic fields on energy levels, and investigate the interactions between particles.
Yes, the energy difference between the peaks in the Zeeman effect can be experimentally observed using spectroscopic techniques. By measuring the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of a magnetic field, scientists can determine the energy difference and gain insights into the behavior of atoms and molecules under magnetic influence.
