THE ZEEMAN EFFECT
Heinrich Hertz demonstrated in 1887 that he could produce in the "ether"-or at least in space-what are now known as "wireless waves," by allowing a charge of electricity to oscillate to and fro. Larmor and Lorentz were, at the same time, endeavoring to formulate a theory which would account for the production of the far shorter light-waves.
