Zeeman Effect Problem [Maybe Simple for you]

[getcarter]

Homework Statement

The Zeeman components of a 500 nm spectral line are 0.0116 nm apart when the magnetic field is 1.00 T.
Find the e/m ratio for the electron from these data

Homework Equations

separation of the Zeeman Components
frequency(v)=eb/4x3,14xm

The Attempt at a Solution

from here wavelength is equal = wavelength^2 x frequency / 4x3.14xmxc

thank you very much

Maybe solve the formula for what you want - get it to say e/m = ...

I think the "frequency" in the formula is supposed to be the "change in frequency" caused by the magnetic field. So you have to take the difference between two frequencies.

thank you very much dephi51 but i couldn't shape the equations in my mind. can you solve ?
