A short important work by Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, Dutch physicist
and Nobel Prize winner.
The Dutch physicist Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (1853-1928) was educated
at the University of Leiden, where he later became a Professor of
Theoretical Physics. A leading figure in his field, he established
the basic mathematical principles that were later used by Albert
Einstein for his theory of relativity. Lorentz and his colleague
Pieter Zeeman won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1902 for their
researches into the influence of magnetism upon radiation phenomena
(the Zeeman effect). In 1905 Lorentz was also elected a Fellow of
the Royal Society, which awarded him the Rumford and Copley Medals.
Contributing to the discussion of the theory of a luminiferous
ether - soon to be superseded by special relativity - this work,
first published in 1895, looks at electromagnetic phenomena (the
propagation of light) in relation to moving bodies and optics.
Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer
Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags
von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv
Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche
Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext
betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor
1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen
Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
