The name of this effect is also used with Einstein's name to describe a law stating that in a photochemical process one photon is absorbed by each molecule causing the process.
The name of this effect is also used with Einstein's name to describe a law stating that in a photochemical process one photon is absorbed by each molecule causing the process. Discovered in 1913, this effect was the first whose explanation saw perturbation theory applied to quantum mechanics, and held that this effect could be described by regarding the electric field involved as a perturbation on the quantum states and energy levels of an atom in the absence of an electric field. FTP, what is this splitting of the lines in the spectra of atoms due to the presence of a strong electric field, an analogue of the Zeeman effect?

Stark effect
