We studied the light source in the direction of the magnetic force, we perforated the poles of the magnet; but even in the direction of the magnetic lines of force we found that our result was confirmed. Pieter Zeeman
Result Light Our Direction Magnet Magnetic Studied Poles Force Source Lines Confirmed Even Found
The rotation of the polarization plane is extraordinarily small in all gases, thus also in sodium vapour. Pieter Zeeman
Extraordinarily Small Thus Polarization Also Plane Rotation Gases Sodium
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 its position of rest. Pieter Zeeman
Rest Pendulum Directly Proportional Like Force Equilibrium Electron Displaced Displacement Now Position
Nature gives us all, including Prof. Lorentz, surprises. It was very quickly found that there are many exceptions to the rule of splitting of the lines only into triplets. Pieter Zeeman
Nature Rule Triplets Only Gives Exceptions Splitting Surprises Lines Very Quickly Us Many Including Found
Moreover, photography has made it possible to fix these images and now provides us with a permanent record of each observed spectrum, which can be measured out at any time. Pieter Zeeman
Time Photography Made Out Possible Record Moreover Observed Permanent Provides Fix Any Which Us Measured Each Now Images Spectrum
It was not simply out of a spirit of contradiction that I exposed a light source to magnetic forces. The idea came to me during an investigation of the effect discovered by Kerr on light reflected by magnetic mirrors. Pieter Zeeman
Me Light Out Spirit Mirrors Magnetic Investigation Simply Idea Forces Came Source Discovered Effect Reflected Contradiction Exposed
I count myself fortunate to be able to contribute to this work; and the great interest which the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has shown in my work and the recognition that it has paid to my past successes, convince me that I am not on the wrong track. Pieter Zeeman
Work Myself Great Me Past Recognition Able Count Wrong Academy Track Sciences Am Contribute Which Interest Successes Convince Swedish Paid Fortunate Shown Royal
Had we really succeeded therefore in altering the period of vibration, which Maxwell, as I have just noted, held to be impossible? Or was there some disturbing circumstances from one or more factors which distorted the result? Pieter Zeeman
Result Impossible Circumstances Distorted Some Disturbing More Factors Had Period Altering Maxwell Just Vibration Which Noted Succeeded Held Really Therefore
