In this experiment, you will measure the small energy shifts in the magnetic sublevels of atoms in weak magnetic fields. Anomalous zeeman effect definition, see under zeeman effect. The part is easy since we are in eigenstates of that operator.
It was called anomalous because the electron spin had not yet been discovered, and so there was no good explanation for it at the time that zeeman observed the effect.
