Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Effects Of A Magnetic Field On Radiation: Memoirs By Faraday, Kerr, And Zeeman (1900) is a book that compiles the memoirs of three prominent scientists - Michael Faraday, John Kerr, and Pieter Zeeman - on the topic of the effects of a magnetic field on radiation. The book was edited by E. P. Lewis and was originally published in 1900.The memoirs included in the book provide a detailed account of the experiments conducted by Faraday, Kerr, and Zeeman to study the interaction between magnetic fields and radiation. Faraday's memoir focuses on his work on the rotation of the plane of polarization of light in a magnetic field, while Kerr's memoir discusses his experiments on the effect of a magnetic field on the refractive index of a medium. Zeeman's memoir, on the other hand, describes his discovery of the splitting of spectral lines in a magnetic field, which is now known as the Zeeman effect.The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and the development of our understanding of the interaction between magnetic fields and radiation. It provides a unique insight into the thought processes and experimental methods of three of the most influential scientists in this field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
