Johannes Stark Autograph Letter Signed Nobel Winner
Johannes Stark (German pronunciation: [joˈhanəs ʃtaʁk], 15 April 1874 – 21 June 1957) was a German physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1919 “for his discovery of the Doppler effect in canal rays and the splitting of spectral lines in electric fields”. This phenomenon is known as the Stark effect. Stark received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Munich in 1897 under the supervision of Eugen von Lommel, and served as Lommel’s assistant until his appointment as a lecturer at the University of Göttingen in 1900. He was an extraordinary professor at Leibniz University Hannover from 1906 until he became a professor at RWTH Aachen University in 1909. In 1917, he became professor at the University of Greifswald, and he also worked at the University of Würzburg from 1920 to 1922.
Johannes Stark autograph letter signed, composed on 23 July 1920 to fellow Nobel Prize winning physicist Wilhelm Wien. Stark writes at length about politics within the German Physical Society, likely referring to the 1919-20 decision to publish “Zeitschrift fur Physik” in addition to the Annals, of which Wien was then Editor. Wien would become President of the Society later in 1920. Two page letter on bifolium stationery measures 5.5″ x 8.75″ as folded. Near fine condition with bold and legible handwriting. With full translation. Sold for $1,834.
