EXTRA INFO

The Amsterdam physicist Pieter Zeeman specialised in difficult research in the field of light. For example, he investigated the effect of the speed of a piece of glass on the light shining through it. To what extent does matter drag the light aliong with it? The problem seems an easy one to solve: take a moving piece of glass and shine the light through is. But taking accurate measurements was not easy. Zeeman constructed a special piece of equipment for the purpose.
