Popis: An expression for the time‐dependent intensity of light scattered in idealized Zeeman quantum beat experiments commonly found in advanced teaching laboratories is presented. The development of this expression illustrates the separation of geometrical and dynamical factors via the Wigner–Eckart theorem. The experiment is also interpreted in terms of a pictorial description of a rotating electron cloud, and an experimental procedure to illustrate this rotation is described.
