Pieter Zeeman (1865-1943) discovered in 1896 that when light from certain elements, such as sodium or lithium (when heated), is passed through a spectroscope in the presence of a strong magnetic field, the individual lines in the spectrum are further subdivided into several closely spaced lines.
This is known as the Zeeman effect and won him a share of the 1902 Nobel Prize for Physics.
