Hendrik Anto Lorentz Winner of the Nobel Prize in physics for 1902 In the early 1890s electron was not discovered yet. Famous Danish physicist Hendrik Lorentz, to explain some physical phenomena, postulates the existence of a small particle charge. Lawrence argues that the electromagnetic radiation produced by the vibration of
He explained mathematically shortening of moving objects with relativistic speeds.
the particle charge. Some time later, a British physicist
In 1902 Lorentz and his compatriot Pieter Zeman was given the Nobel Prize in physics for
In 1870 Lawrence enters the University of Leiden to study physics and mathematics. Since student acquainted with the works of the great James Klerk Maxwell, founder of the electromagnetic theory of light. After graduation returned to Arnhem to prepare a PhD. Over the next two years he taught lessons at a local school to make a living. In 1875 defends PhD thesis "Theory of reflection and refraction of light :. At the age of 24 he received the place as a professor of theoretical physics at Leiden. One day, during summer vacation, Lawrence meets beauty Aleta Kaiser, the daughter a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1881 the young couple married. Marriage have been happy. Aleta devoted her husband and was a real help for him. They brought in life two daughters and a son. Lawrence was remembered as a gregarious man with a remarkable sense of humor and charming in conversation; He liked the smoked and return with friends a glass of good wine. In addition to scientific research, Lawrence was activated on practical applications of physics. In 1920 assumes the calculation of the height of the dam at the Zuiderzee. In 1906 makes the first trip to America, a very important event of his life. Just most of the most prominent physicists US. 74 Hudson River delta and the Statue of Liberty impressed him. His lectures were very successful.
the discovery and explanation of the division of spectral visa.
Lorentz was born in the Netherlands.
Xh.Xh.Tomson reveals these particles, electrons, experimentally. You may know that the spectral visas are an optical phenomenon and occurs when the light released by the flame of a gas divided into component colors. An important consequence of the Lorentz electron theory was forecast, according to which the spectral visas should be broken down if their source is placed in a strong magnetic field. Lawrence speculated that the presence of the magnetic field changes the movement of charged particles within the light source that produces visas spectral causing thereby changing their position.
Hendrik Antoon Lorentz was born in Arnhem the Netherlands to 18 July 1853. His father was the owner of a nursery, the mother dies when Hendriku was only four years old and his father married for the second time. Apparently the stepmother should be cared more for the smaller brother. At six years Hendrik goes to study in the school of Master Suater, at the time one of the best in Arnhem. Rapidly becoming the first class. Under the supervision of a good teacher, who spotted his talent at the age of nine years Hendrik can use the table of logarithms. At age thirteen enters high school Arnhem. As students excelled in everything that he take on. It was very fond after reading, mainly after historical books and books of Walter Scott and Charles Dickens. Lawrence was born in the Netherlands. He explained mathematically shortening of moving objects with relativistic speeds.
