In the late 19th century, Lorentz hypothesized that the oscillations of atomic electrons produce light, and that a magnetic field would affect the oscillations, and thereby the frequency of the light. In 1896, this effect was observed by the scienti  st for whom it is named as a broadening of the yellow D-lines of sodium in a flame placed in a strong magnetic field.
