Pieter Zeeman ( May 25, 1865 – October 9, 1943) was a physicist who shared the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics with Hendrik Lorentz for his discovery of the Zeeman effect.Born in Zonnemaire, Netherlands, Zeeman was a student of Lorentz at the University of Leiden. He began lecturing at Leiden in 1890. In 1896, at the request of Lorentz, he began investigating the effect of magnetic fields on a lightLight is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength that is visible to the eye, or in a more general sense, any electromagnetic radiation in the range from infrared to ultraviolet. The three basic dimensions of light (and of all electromagnetic radiation source and discovered what is now known as the Zeeman effect. This discovery proved Lorentz's theory of electromagnetic radiationElectromagnetic radiation is a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields in perpendicular orientation to each other, moving through space, effectively transporting energy from one place to another. Visible light is a form of electromagnetic.
