 Solution

For $5s5d$, addition of angular momentum gives $L=2$ and $S=0,1$. The even-parity atomic terms and atomic fine-structure levels areThe electric-dipole selection rules exclude all connections to the even-parity $5s^2$ and $5s6s$ electron configurations. To the odd-parity $5s5p$ electron configuration, all seven allowed connections in pure LS coupling areHere a connection is listed independently of whether the $5s5d$ energy level is above or below its partner.

In a weak magnetic field, use the Landé g-factorFor the three ${}^3{D}_J$ energy levels, this gives $1/2,7/6,4/3$; for ${}^3{P}_1,{}^3{P}_2$ it gives $3/2$. The six-component spectral line is thereforeA component has frequency displacement $({\mu }_{B}B/h)(m_D/2-3m_P/2)$. The electric dipole transition with $m_D=m_P=0$ has zero matrix element, since the relevant $J=1\leftrightarrow 1$ rank-one Clebsch-Gordan coefficients vanish there. The remaining allowed pairs giveThus all six frequency positions $\pm 1/2,\pm 1,\pm 3/2$ are distinct. Perpendicular to the magnetic field, both the $\pi$ and $\sigma$ components are visible, with mutually perpendicular linear polarizations. Along the magnetic field the $\pi$ components disappear. This is the weak-field Zeeman effect, before the Paschen-Back effect changes the coupling scheme.
