This man is the second namesake of an effect in which a matter wave is diffracted by a standing wave of light; he names that effect with Kapitsa. An equation named for this man predicts that a free particle undergoes a trembling motion of frequency 2mc squared over h-bar; that equation, when applied to a spherical potential, predicts a slight energy difference between the 2S one-half and 2P one-half orbitals called the (*) Lamb shift. One equation named for this physicist is commonly solved using a set of five anti-commutating gamma matrices; that equation is used to describe the wavefunction of massive spin-one-half particles. For 10 points, name this British physicist who names a relativistic generalization of the Schroedinger equation that predicted the existence of antimatter.
