The Nobel prize was awarded jointly to Lorentz and Pieter Zeeman, a student of Lorentz. Zeeman had verified experimentally Lorentz's theoretical work on atomic structure, demonstrating the effect of a strong magnetic field on the oscillations by measuring the change in the wavelength of the light produced.
Ang Nobel premyo ay iginawad sama-sama sa Lorentz at Pieter Zeeman, isang mag-aaral ng Lorentz. Zeeman ay napatunayan na pagtuklas Lorentz's panteorya trabaho sa atomic structure, nagpapakita ng epekto ng isang malakas na batubalani field sa oscillations sa pamamagitan ng pagsukat ng palitan sa ang haba ng daluyong ng ilaw produced.
