“By recognizing that the chemical atom is composed of single separable electric quanta, humanity has taken a great step forward in the investigation of the natural world.” WorldHumanityNaturalStepsTakenChemicalsAtomsElectricInvestigationQuantumRecognizingNatural WorldSteps Forward Author:Johannes Stark
“For under certain conditions the chemical atoms emit light waves of a specific length or oscillation frequency - their familiar characteristic spectra - and these can come in the form of electromagnetic waves only from accelerated electric quanta.” LightFormCertainConditionsWaveFamiliarCharacteristicsLengthChemicalsAtomsElectricQuantumFrequencyOscillationElectromagnetic WavesLight Waves Author:Johannes Stark
“In my view the structure of the whole atom was that of an individual, with all its parts interconnected, and the emission of a spectral line appeared to me to be the result of the coherence and co-operation of several electric quanta.” WholeIndividualLinesResultsViewsStructureOperationsAtomsElectricQuantumEmissionsInterconnectedCoherence Author:Johannes Stark
“An external electric field, meeting it and passing through it, affects the negative as much as the positive quanta of the atom, and pushes the former to one side, and the latter in the other direction.” SidesFieldsPositiveNegativeMeetingsPassingPassingsFormerLatterAtomsElectricQuantumPassing Through Author:Johannes Stark
“A beam of luminous hydrogen canal rays has, owing to its velocity, exactly the same direction as that of the electric field in which it may be made to move.” MayMadeMovingFieldsRaysElectricBeamLuminousOwingHydrogenCanalsVelocity Author:Johannes Stark
“Along a series of lines running from longer to shorter wavelengths the effect of the electric field becomes greater as the serial numbers increase - that is, as the wavelength decreases.” RunningLinesNumbersGreaterEffectsFieldsIncreaseSeriesElectricDecreaseSerialsWavelength Author:Johannes Stark
“By allowing the positive ions to pass through an electric field and thus giving them a certain velocity, it is possible to distinguish them from the neutral, stationary atoms.” GivingCertainFieldsAllowingAtomsElectricVelocityStationaryIons Author:Johannes Stark
