Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Not illustrated. 1913 Excerpt: ...It is now abundantly proved that there is a movement of the middle line of a triplet. It is very remarkable that, under the action of the field, the outer components move symmetrically to the original line. 79. For further investigation of the law of movement of the central line, a method warranting greater resolving power than Rowland's grating is needed. Gmelin used Michelson's echelon grating, and it seems that he has largely succeeded by systematic procedure in interpreting quantitatively the results obtained by this instrument. His result therefore possesses great probability. However, I thought it worth while to investigate, the matter by a method independent of Rowland's and Michelson's apparatus. Fabry and Perot's method seemed most appropriate. The greater part of my measurements have been obtained with a 5 mm. etalon, already used on a former occasion. Some determinations were made with an Etalon with distance-pieces of invar, as suggested by Fabry and Perot, in order to diminish the dependence upon temperature. The thickness of the air-layer in this etalon was nearly 25 mm. With this distance, and using the light of the mercury line 5791 in the magnetic field, the limit of the method is being rapidly approached. Hence the accuracy of the results obtained with the 25 mm. etalon is in our case scarcely superior to that to be reached with the 5 mm. apparatus. The arrangement of the apparatus was described with sufficient detail in §§ 9 and 10. For the purpose now in view it was desirable to investigate exclusively the vibrations parallel to the magnetic force. A calcspar-rhomb was placed therefore between the source of light and the first lens. Two images of the radiating vacuum-tube are now obtained near together on the etalon, the undesi...

Pieter Zeeman was born on May 25, 1865 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Zeeman, who had been a student of Lorentz at the University of Leiden, began lecturing at Leiden in 1890. Six years later, at the suggestion of Lorentz, he investigated the effect of magnetic fields on a source of light and found that each of the lines in the spectrum of emitted light split into several lines; this became known as the Zeeman effect. Zeeman was appointed professor of physics at the University of Amsterdam in 1900 and director of its Physical Institute in 1908. Remaining there until his death, he conducted research on the propagation of light in moving media such as water, quartz, and flint.
Zeeman died on 9 October 1943 in Amsterdam, and was buried in Haarlem.

In 1898 Zeeman was elected to membership of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam, and he served as its secretary from 1912 to 1920. He also was elected a Foreign member of the Royal Society (ForMemRS) in 1921.
