Hydrodynamics. This book is the representative work and summary of classical fluid mechanics before the end of the nineteenth century. It had been
the standard work of fluid mechanics for several decades after its publication,
and even now it still has important reference value. Other works of Lamb
include Infinitesimal Analysis (1897), Theory of Sound Dynamics (1910),
Statics (including hydrostatics and preliminary theory of and elasticity, 1912),
Dynamics (1914), Advanced Mechanics (1920), etc (Fig. 8.33).
8.34 Lorentz (1853–1928)
Hendrik Anton Lorentz (1853–1928), an outstanding Dutch physicist,
mathematician, and founder of classical electron theory, received his
doctorate in 1875. Lorenz’s most important contribution to physics is his
electron theory. He used J. C. Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory to deal with
the reflection and refraction of light on the dielectric interface. He thought
that all matter molecules contain electrons, and the particles of cathode rays
are electrons. The interaction between ether and matter is attributed to the
interaction between ether and electron. This theory successfully explains the
