Today (February 4, 1928) is the anniversary of Nobel laureate Hendrik Lorentz into the study of the effects of electromagnetic waves on radiation.

Today (February 4, 1928) is the anniversary of Nobel laureate Hendrik Lorentz into the study of the effects of electromagnetic waves on radiation.

 

Hendrik Antoon Lorentz was born July 18, 1853, in Arnome, Aland, to a relatively affluent Lorentz family. His father was Jared Frederick Laurents, and his mother was Crete Ruida Lon Jingle. His mother disappeared when he was 4 years old. His father understood remarriage. Lorentz knew how to use the science and math charts from the age of nine. In 1866-69 he attended the then newly opened High School at Arunem. He excelled in science, history and translation. In 1870 he joined the University of Leiden and studied physics and mathematics. At the end of the following year, he joined here and graduated as a research student for a doctorate. There he was greatly impressed by the teaching method of Frederick Kaiser, who was a professor of astronomy. He also became a physicist at his instigation. During these two years, he taught physics and mathematics to high school students at Arunem.

 

The University of Leiden awarded him a doctorate in 1875 for his study of theories for light reflection and light diffraction phenomena. Lorentz was 22 when he received his doctorate. His dissertations were intended to further illustrate Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, which at the time was considered astonishing. The academic system of the Dutch University was expanded in 1877. A department of theoretical physics was established at the University of Leighton, with Lorentz, 24, as its first president. In 1881 Lorentz married Aleta Cartarina Kaiser. They had two daughters and a son. For the next 20 years, his life depended on quiet personal study. He spent time interacting with scientists around the world and reading occasional books on theories of physics.

On January 25, 1878, his first discourse was on molecular physics. He published an explanatory article on the relationship between the directional speed of light and its density in a medium. In addition, he published several basic ideas about motion objects. In 1897, the German Physicists' Conference was held in Dusseldorf. It was attended by scientists from many countries. Lorentz became a leading scholar at the conference due to his eloquent speeches in German, English, and French, and his personality. Although Lorentz specializes in developing basic principles, he is also interested in recipe activities. In 1918 he served as chairman of the committee that monitored the effects of the dam and maritime work (Netherlands) planned at the request of the Dutch government.

 

For 20 years his study of electromagnetic theory has focused on the interactions between electricity, magnetism, and light. His studies were in mechanics, thermodynamics, thermodynamics, hydraulics, kinetics, and physics. Lorentz became increasingly interested in electromagnetism, electron theory, and analogy. He commented on the extension of time to explain the analogy between the specifications of the analogy movements. Atoms are charged particles. Their oscillations are set according to the light sources. This principle was substantiated in 1896 by Fider Seaman. He is an alumnus of Lorentz. Seaman then became his assistant.

Lorentz's Law, Lorentz Key, Lorentz's Distribution Lorentz Change are manifestations of his study. Mathematical explanations such as length reduction, length extension, and weight gain were used to better explain the theory of analogy. Lorentz's fame was further enhanced by his methods, which explained many of the doubts raised in the studies of 'Albert Michelson' and 'Edwin Mali' on the motion of electromagnetic waves through the medium of ether. The guidelines for this were devised by George Pitt Gerald alone. The two together later became known as the Lorentz Fitzgerald Summary. In 1920 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his research on the effects of magnetism on radiation, as well as his alumnus Finder Siemen, who collaborated with him.

 

After receiving the Nobel Prize, he was awarded various honours and prizes. Elected a member of the Royal Society in 1905. He was awarded the Academy's Rambord Medal in 1908 and the Copley Medal in 1918. He published a series of lectures on the principle of electrons at Columbia University in 1909. In 1912 Lorentz was appointed chairman of the first Calvey Conference in Brussels. The conference was followed by an article by Poincar on physics, which explained Lorentz's position. Lorentz retired in 1912. In 1912 Lorentz was appointed Director of Research at the Taylors Museum in Arlem. He has been a weekly lecturer at the University of Leighton. Paul Erenbestu, who worked behind Lorentz at the University of Appeals, changed the name of the educational institution for theoretical physics to the Lorentz Institute.

 

Lorentz spent most of his life teaching medicine and science. In his later years, he regularly attended international scientific conferences and engaged in scientific logic. Hendrik Lorentz, the winner of the Nobel Prize for his study of the effects of electromagnetic waves on radiation, passed away on February 4, 1928, at the age of 74 in Arulem, the Netherlands. His funeral on February 10 was attended by many world leaders and eminent physicists. Ernest Rutherford, President of the Royal Society, delivered the keynote address. Aland stopped the telegraph and telephone service for 3 minutes in honour of the famous scientist at 12 noon that day. Postage stamps were issued in his honour.
