Lorentz theorized that the atoms might consist of charged particles and suggested that the
oscillations of these charged particles were the source of light. When colleague and former
student of Lorentz Pieter Zeeman discovered the Zeeman effect in 1896, Lorentz supplied its
theoretical interpretation. The experimental and theoretical work was honored with the Nobel
prize in physics in 1902. Lorentz' name is now associated with the Lorentz-Lorenz formula, the
Lorentz force, the Lorentzian distribution, and the Lorentz transformation.
Albert Michelson
(December 19, 1852 May 9, 1931) was an American physicist known for his work on the
measurement of the speed of light and especially for the Michelson-Morley experiment. In 1907
he received the Nobel Prize in Physics. He became the first American to receive the Nobel Prize
in sciences.
