Now if this electron is displaced from its equilibrium position, a force that is directly proportional to the displacement restores it like a pendulum to its position of rest.
More Quotes from Pieter Zeeman:
A beam of compound light is no longer reflected by the lined surface in the ordinary way instead each special kind of light follows its own path.Pieter Zeeman
On the basis of Lorentz's theory, if we limit ourselves to a single spectral line, it suffices to assume that each atom (or molecule) contains a single moving electron.
Pieter Zeeman
It was natural that, soon after I had succeeded in splitting up lines, I should also study how the different lines behave in this respect.
Pieter Zeeman
We studied the light source in the direction of the magnetic force, we perforated the poles of the magnet; but even in the direction of the magnetic lines of force we found that our result was confirmed.
Pieter Zeeman
The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio between the mass and the charge of the electron.

The more everybody knows about all aspects of the problems we face, the better off all of us will be. Less time spent explaining things means more time for coming up with creative solutions.
