How Do We Measure the Magnetic Field on the Surface of the Sun?

1

The Sun consists of hydrogen (71.0%), helium (27.1%) and 65 other elements.

2

These atoms are constantly absorbing and emitting energy.

The Question

Left-hand plot below shows spectra of a sunspot. The labels from (A) to (D) correspond to the locations indicated in right-hand image. The single line (A) is split as the position shifts into the sunspot. The absorption lines at 6301.5 angstroms and 6302.5 angstroms are from iron. What is the size of the magnetic field that created the observed splitting?
