Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (/ ˈ l ɒr ən t s /, LORR-ənts; Dutch: [ˈɦɛndrɪk ˈloːrɛnts]; 18 July 1853 – 4 February 1928) was a Dutch theoretical physicist who shared the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics with Pieter Zeeman for his theoretical explanation of the Zeeman effect.
In physics and mathematics, the Lorentz group is the group of all Lorentz transformations of Minkowski spacetime, the classical and quantum setting for all (non-gravitational) physical phenomena. The Lorentz group is named for the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz. For example, the following laws, equations, and theories respect Lorentz symmetry:
If a Lorentz covariant 4-vector is measured in one inertial frame with result , and the same measurement made in another inertial frame (with the same orientation and origin) gives result ′, the two results will be related by ′ = where the boost matrix () represents the rotation-free Lorentz transformation between the unprimed and primed ...
The Lorentz reciprocity theorem is simply a reflection of the fact that the linear operator ^ relating and at a fixed frequency (in linear media): = ^ where ^ [()] is usually a symmetric operator under the "inner product" (,) = for vector fields and . [8] (Technically, this unconjugated form is not a true inner product because it is not ...
Hendrik Lorentz. The Lorentz ether theory, which was developed mainly between 1892 and 1906 by Lorentz and Poincaré, was based on the aether theory of Augustin-Jean Fresnel, Maxwell's equations and the electron theory of Rudolf Clausius.
The equations are free of the constants ε 0 and μ 0 that are present in the SI system. (In addition ε 0 and μ 0 are overdetermined, because ε 0 μ 0 = 1 / c 2.) The below points are true in both Heaviside–Lorentz and Gaussian systems, but not SI.
Lorentz force acting on fast-moving charged particles in a bubble chamber.Positive and negative charge trajectories curve in opposite directions. In physics, specifically in electromagnetism, the Lorentz force law is the combination of electric and magnetic force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields.
