Description

The absorption of sodium lamp light by the flame spiced with table salt is a cause of the shadow cast by the flame. When the magnetic field is applied, the shadow fades a little due to the Zeeman effect. The experiment and its analysis are of didactical interest because they allow students to observe several aspects of quantum theory and the application of interferometry in an intriguing effect.
