Split in the spectral line when a magnetic field is applied.
Non-anomalous: number of splits matches predictions of the Schrodinger equation about the number of possible states with a given angular momentum. TODO does it make numerical predictions?
Anomalous: evidence of spin.
http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~blackman/ast104/zeeman-split.html contains the hello world that everyone should know: 2p splits into 3 energy levels, so you see 3 spectral lines from 1s to 2p rather than just one.
p splits into 3, d into 5, f into 7 and so on, i.e. one for each possible azimuthal quantum number.
It also mention that polarization effects become visible from this: each line is polarized in a different way. TODO more details as in an experiment to observe this.
Well explained at: Video 71. ""Quantum Mechanics 7a - Angular Momentum I" by ViaScience (2013)".
This one is decent. Uses a cadmium lamp and an etalon on an optical table. They see a more or less clear 3-split in a circular interference pattern,
They filter out all but the transition of interest.

- https://youtu.be/ZmObNFAqkBE?t=370 says they are looking at 1D2 to 1P1 changes.
