Electron Quotes by Pieter Zeeman
- On the basis of Lorentz's theory, if we limit ourselves to a single spectral line, it suffices to assume that each atom (or molecule) contains…
- According to well-known electrodynamic laws, an electron moving in a magnetic field is acted upon by a force which runs perpendicular to the direction of…
- The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio between…
- Now if this electron is displaced from its equilibrium position, a force that is directly proportional to the displacement restores it like a pendulum to…
- Now all oscillatory movements of such an electron can be conceived of as being split up into force, and two circular oscillations perpendicular to this…
- In the absence of a magnetic field the period of all these oscillations is the same. But as soon as the electron is exposed to…
