Lorentz, Hendrik Antoon Hendrik Antoon Lorentz By courtesy of the Nobelstiftelsen (b. July 18, 1853, Arnhem, Neth.d. Feb. 4, 1928, Haarlem), Dutch physicist and joint winner (with Pieter Zeeman ) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1902 for his theory of electromagnetic radiation, which, confirmed by findings of Zeeman, gave rise to Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity. Lorentz' electron theory was not, however, successful in explaining the negative results of the Michelson-Morley experiment , an effort to measure the velocity of the Earth through the hypothetical luminiferous ether by comparing the velocities of light from different directions. In an attempt to overcome this difficulty he introduced in 1895 the idea of local time (different time rates in different locations). Lorentz arrived at the notion that moving bodies approaching the velocity of light contract in the direction of motion. The Irish physicist George Francis FitzGerald had already arrived at this notion independently ( see Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction , and in 1904 Lorentz extended his work and developed the Lorentz transformations . These mathematical formulas describe the increase of mass, shortening of length, and dilation of time that are characteristic of a moving body and form the basis of Einstein's special theory of relativity. In 1912 Lorentz became director of research at the Teyler Institute, Haarlem, though he remained honorary professor at Leiden, where he gave weekly lectures.

Branch of Science Physicists Nationality Dutch ... Physics Prize Lorentz, Hendrik Antoon (1853-1928) Dutch physicist who was converted from Helmholtz's electromagnetic theory by Hertz's experiments, which he felt were "the greatest triumph that Maxwell's theory has achieved." Using the Maxwellian framework, he proposed a universal theory of physics based purely on the concepts of electromagnetism The fundamental postulates, which were completely independent of mechanical principles, were presented in Inquiry into a Theory of Electrical and Optical Phenomena in Moving Bodies , Leiden 1895). Independently of Fitzgerald , Lorentz he suggested the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment resulted from a contraction of the arms of the interferometer in the direction of the Earth's motion.

Lorentz, Hendrik Antoon Dutch physicist, winner (with his pupil Pieter Zeeman) of a Nobel prize in 1902 for his work on the Zeeman effect, in which a magnetic field splits spectral lines. Lorentz spent most of his career trying to develop and improve Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. He also attempted to account for the anomalies of the Michelson-Morley experiment by proposing (independently of Irish physicist George Fitzgerald) that moving bodies contracted in their direction of motion. He took the matter further with his method of transforming space and time coordinates, later known as Lorentz transformations, which prepared the way for Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Lorentz was born in Arnhem and studied at Leiden, where he became professor of theoretical physics at the age of 24. In 1912 he became director of the Teyler Institute in Haarlem.

Ph 10 Geschichte Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (1853 - 1928) niederländischer Physiker und Mathematiker dar. Hendrik Antoon Lorentz wurde am 13. Juli 1853 in Arnheim geboren. Seine Schulzeit absolvierte er in seiner Geburtsstadt, bis er 1870 für ein Studium der Mathematik und Physik an die Universität Leiden ging. Im Februar 1872 nahm er die Lehrtätigkeit am Abendgymnasium in Arnheim auf und bildete sich autodidaktisch weiter, so dass er 1875 promovieren konnte. Auf Grundlage der Maxwell-Theorie erklärte er in seiner Dissertation " Sur la théorie de la réflexion et de la réfraction de la lumière " die Brechung und Reflexion des Lichtes. Nachdem er 1877 eine Professur auf den mathematischen Lehrstuhl in Utrecht ablehnte nahm er 1878 einen Ruf auf den ersten niederländischen Lehrstuhl für theoretische Physik an der Universität Leiden an. Im Jahr 1892 formuliert Hendrik Antoon Lorentz eine modellhafte Theorie der Leitfähigkeit und der magnetischen Eigenschaften von Metallen, welche von der Existenz beweglicher negativer Ladungsträger in den Metallen ausgeht. Sie wird später als Elektronentheorie bezeichnet. 1895 führt er die nach ihm benannte Lorentz-Kraft ein.

He was appointed professor of mathematical physics at the Univiersity of Leiden in 1878. During his time there he was primarily interested in a single theory to explain the relationship of electricity, magnetism, and light. Lorentz theorized that the atoms might consist of charged particles and suggested that the oscillations of these charged particles were the source of light.
