One man with this last name names a frequency which, with the Brunt-VÃ¤isÃ¤lÃ¤ frequency, determines the allowed p- and g-modes of a star.
One man with this last name names a frequency which, with the Brunt-VÃ¤isÃ¤lÃ¤ frequency, determines the allowed p- and g-modes of a star. Another physicist with this last name described a method of finding the centers of optical transitions using counterpropagating laser beams to produce namesake absorption dips. The hydrodynamicist with this last name lends it to surfaces that contain streamlines and vortex lines; the second physicist with this last name teamed up with Robert Retherford for an experiment which showed that radiative coupling to the vacuum field breaks the degeneracy predicted by Dirac theory for states with the same n and j values, spurring the development of quantum electrodynamics. For 10 points, give this last name of Willis, who showed that the two S one-half state of hydrogen has a namesake energy shift.
