31. 23 Over Lorentz Hendrik Lorentz had geen ambitie in het voetspoor van zijn vader en grootvader Met dit en ander belangrijk theoretisch onderzoek was Hendrik Lorentz een http://www.spijkerkwartier.net/wetenswaard/Historie sites/ts23.htm

Zijn benoeming tot hoogleraar in de theoretische natuurkunde aan de universiteit van Leiden begin 1878 lag - hoewel Lorentz toen pas 24 jaar oud was - in de lijn van de verwachtingen. Twintig jaar later toonde hij samen met collega natuurkundige Pieter Zeeman het bestaan van electronen aan, een werk dat in 1902 werd bekroond met de Nobelprijs voor natuurkunde. Met dit en ander belangrijk theoretisch onderzoek was Hendrik Lorentz een wegbereider voor het werk van Albert Einstein. Maar ook op andere terreinen verdiende Lorentz zijn sporen. Na de grote overstromingen rond de Zuiderzee in 1916 werd besloten tot de aanleg van de afsluitdijk. De regering stelde een staatscommissie in die moest onderzoeken hoe dit het beste kon worden aangepakt. Lorentz werd voorzitter van deze commissie die een plan uitwerkte dat tussen 1927 en 1932 werd uitgevoerd. Joep Mannaerts Volgende Vorige Pagina Historie Bron: Kadastrale atlas Gelderland 1832 sectie D "Arnhemsche Broek" . De Steenstraat loopt van linksboven naar onder, de Spijkerlaan loopt horizontaal naar het Geldersche Spyker met duidelijke vijverpartijen (rechtsboven in de kaart). Het huis van de ouders van H.A. Lorentz lag aan de "Groote weg van Zutphen naar Arnhem" - en is op deze selectie gearceerd aangegeven. Soms wordt in een stad of dorp iemand geboren die later grote roem of bekendheid verwerft. Als artiest, geleerde, schrijver of TV-persoonlijkheid. Die stad of dat dorp zal dan zeker zijn of haar grote zoon of dochter eren door bijvoorbeeld een gedenkplaat aan de gevel van het geboortehuis te bevestigen. Of op een andere wijze eer willen betonen. Arnhem eert op die manier haar grote zoon Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, natuurkundige en Nobelprijs-winnaar, met een monument in park Sonsbeek. Minder bekend is dat Hendrik Lorentz in het Spijkerkwartier is geboren. Op het adres toen bekend als Steenstraat 82. De datum: 18 juli 1853, nu precies 150 jaar gelden.

After retiring from this chair, Lorentz was appointed director of research at the Teyler Institute, Haarlem. However, he retained an honorary position at Leiden, where he continued to lecture. Before the existence of electrons was proved, Lorentz proposed that light waves were due to oscillations of an electric charge in the atom. Lorentz developed his mathematical theory of the electron for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1902. The Nobel prize was awarded jointly to Lorentz and Pieter Zeeman, a student of Lorentz. Zeeman had verified experimentally Lorentz's theoretical work on atomic structure, demonstrating the effect of a strong magnetic field on the oscillations by measuring the change in the wavelength of the light produced.
