Born on May 25, 1865 in Zonnemeier, Netherlands, Dr. Peter Zeeman and Hendrik Anton Lorentz were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1902, followed by Rohingin in 1901.
There are two very important things in physics one is light and the other is magnetism. Light can be defined as radiation of any wavelength, whether or not you can see it with the naked eye (such as infrared, radio waves, X-rays or gamma rays). And if we define magnetism in the same way, it is the name of attraction or repulsion of anything by a magnet. By passing electricity through any metal wire you can turn it into a magnet. The purpose of this entire discussion is to take you back to Michael Faraday's lab in 1862 where Michael Faraday conducted his last experiment to determine whether magnetism affects light. He tried a lot but did not find anything, tested with polarized light and also with non-polarized light but did not show any radiations on the light. . Later, on the basis of this experiment, in September 1870, Maxwell, the founder of the electromagnetic light theory, stated that no force can change the direction of light even slightly.
But this statement was proved wrong by Peter in 1896. That year he did a great experiment. He used a Rowland concave grating mirror with over fifty thousand grooves less than ten centimeters apart. When Peter studied sodium fine light with it, he found that the line spectrum was very sharp and is fine (a line spectrum is a spectrum in which only light of a specific wavelength is emitted or absorbed when light is passed through a prism). And now when a similar study was done by Peter Zeman under the poles of a strong electromagnet, he saw that the light that was once very fine now had broad oscillations. The vibration was observed to be small in some places and large in some places, although the change was very small, only two-half of 0.1 nanometers, but the change was observed.
Now he, like William Rohingin, wasn't sure what I was seeing or how Mesquill had been proven wrong. He repeated the experiment again and again and then he changed the directions of the magnetic poles but the same result was observed. Not only did this prove that light is affected by radiation, but when he submitted his research paper and it reached Hendrick Lorentz, the famous physicist of the time, Lorentz invited Peter to his office, where Peter met Lorentz. explained his observations based on the Lorentz theory of electromagnetic radiation (according to which light consists of charged particles and their oscillation is the source of light).
The work of both of them was greatly appreciated and eventually Peter Zeeman was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1902 for experimental work and Hendrik Lorentz for theoretical work. The work of Peter and Lorentz gave an opportunity to understand the internal structure of atoms because electrons were discovered in 1897. Modern physics began after classical physics based on Lorentz's theory.
