Pieter Zeeman quotes
" A beam of compound light is no longer reflected by the lined surface in the ordinary way; instead each special kind of light follows its own path. "

Pieter Zeeman
" 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 motion of the electron and to the direction of the magnetic field, and whose magnitude is easily determined. "

Pieter Zeeman
" Faraday himself called his discovery the magnetization of light and the illumination of magnetic lines of force. "

Pieter Zeeman
" 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
" 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
" I should point out, however, that at first some difficulty was experienced in observing the phenomena predicted by the theory, owing to the extreme smallness of the variations in the period of oscillation. "

Pieter Zeeman
" I was in fact able to verify experimentally some conclusions which followed from the theory of optical and electrical phenomena of my esteemed teacher and friend Professor Lorentz. "

Pieter Zeeman
" In August, 1896, I exposed the sodium flame to large magnetic forces by placing it between the poles of a strong electromagnet. "

Pieter Zeeman
" 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 the effect of a magnetic field, its motion changes. "

Pieter Zeeman
" It was natural that, soon after I had succeeded in splitting up lines, I should also study how the different lines behave in this respect. "

Pieter Zeeman
" 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
" 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
" Most physics institutes possess this polished metal mirror with a very large number of grooves, say 50,000 over a width of 10 cm scratched on by means of a diamond. "

Pieter Zeeman
" 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
" 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 direction rotating in opposite directions. "
