The Zeeman Effect
Explanation, with diagrams, of the Zeeman Effect which relates to atomic energy levels and spectral lines.

Biography of Johannes Stark
Johannes Stark (1874 - 1957) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1919 for his discovery of the Doppler effect in canal rays and of the splitting of spectral lines in electric fields.

Gustav Hertz
Gustav Hertz (1887 - 1975) demonstrated the relationship between series of spectral lines and the energy losses of electrons in collision with atoms. He received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915 ...

Spectral colours
In a rainbow or the separation of colors by a prism we see the continuous range of spectral colors (the visible spectrum).
