We can in fact first place the beam of rays of moving positive atomic ions in a plane perpendicular to the axis in which we see the spectral lines emitted by them.
More Quotes from Johannes Stark:
The question of the composition of perceptible objects is one which already occupied the mind of the ancient Greeks.Johannes Stark
If the experimental physicist has already done a great deal of work in this field, nevertheless the theoretical physicist has still hardly begun to evaluate the experimental material which may lead him to conclusions about the structure of the atom.
Johannes Stark
However, cases came to light later in which canal rays containing only positive ions showed a Doppler effect in the spectral lines emitted by them.
Johannes Stark
The spectra of atomic ions of higher valence are different from the spectra of atomic ions of the same element, but of lower valence.
Johannes Stark
At the head of these new discoveries and insights comes the establishment of the facts that electricity is composed of discrete particles of equal size, or quanta, and that light is an electromagnetic wave motion.
Johannes Stark
We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached.
