A beam of luminous hydrogen canal rays has, owing to its velocity, exactly the same direction as that of the electric field in which it may be made to move. Johannes Stark

Made Field Exactly Exactly The Same Beam Direction Hydrogen Rays Velocity Canal Owing Same Same Direction May Move Which Electric Luminous

For under certain conditions the chemical atoms emit light waves of a specific length or oscillation frequency - their familiar characteristic spectra - and these can come in the form of electromagnetic waves only from accelerated electric quanta. Johannes Stark

Light Atoms Waves Characteristic Only Come Accelerate Frequency Chemical Conditions Familiar Form Length Certain Electric Electromagnetic Specific Oscillation

Many scientists will have to contribute to the solution of the great problem; they will have to follow up and measure all those phenomena in which the atomic structure is directly expressed. Johannes Stark

Great Problem Will Those Solution Follow Follow-Up Atomic Structure Directly Scientists Up Contribute Which Measure Many Expressed Phenomena

With this in mind, for some twenty years I have set myself as my particular task the experimental investigation of the connexion between change in the structure and change in the spectra of chemical atoms. Johannes Stark

Myself Change Mind Atoms Some Structure Investigation Between Particular Chemical Years Task Experimental Twenty Set

We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached. Johannes Stark

Experience Strikes Circumstances Detached Some Atom Through Ray Learnt Surface Electrical Electron Even Second Third

By allowing the positive ions to pass through an electric field and thus giving them a certain velocity, it is possible to distinguish them from the neutral, stationary atoms. Johannes Stark

Positive Atoms Giving Field Distinguish Stationary Possible Through Neutral Allowing Thus Velocity Ions Pass Them Certain Electric

The emitters of the spectral series are without exception single atoms, not compounds of atoms. Johannes Stark

Atoms Single Compounds Exception Without Series

An external electric field, meeting it and passing through it, affects the negative as much as the positive quanta of the atom, and pushes the former to one side, and the latter in the other direction. Johannes Stark

Positive Negative Field Other Side Meeting Latter Atom Direction Through Pushes Passing Affects Former Much Electric External

In my view the structure of the whole atom was that of an individual, with all its parts interconnected, and the emission of a spectral line appeared to me to be the result of the coherence and co-operation of several electric quanta. Johannes Stark

Me Result Several Atom Structure Emission Individual Parts Line Interconnected Co-Operation View Electric Whole Appeared Coherence
