Hendrik Antoon Lorentz ( / ˈlɒrənts /; 18 July 1853 – 4 February 1928) was a Dutch physicist who shared the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics with Pieter Zeeman for the discovery and theoretical explanation of the Zeeman effect.
His fundamental work in the fields of optics and electricity has revolutionized contemporary conceptions of the nature of matter. In 1878, he published an essay on the relation between the velocity of light in a medium and the density and composition thereof.
Hendrik Antoon Lorentz was a Dutch physicist and joint winner (with Pieter Zeeman) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1902 for his theory of electromagnetic radiation, which, confirmed by findings of Zeeman, gave rise to Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity.
