Information trouvée : Johannes Stark (b. April 15, 1874, Schickenhof, Ger.--d. June 21, 1957, Traunstein,
W.Ger.), German physicist who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1919 for his discovery
(1913) that an electric field would cause splitting of the lines in the spectrum of
light emitted by a luminous substance; the phenomenon is called the Stark effect.
Stark became a lecturer at the University of Göttingen in 1900, and from 1917 until
he retired in 1922 Stark served as professor of physics at the University of Greifswald
and, later, at the University of Würzburg. A supporter of Hitler and an anti-Semitic
racial theorist, Stark was president of the Reich Physical-Technical Institute from
1933 to 1939. In 1947 a denazification court sentenced him to four years in a labour
camp.
