Sir Joseph Larmor Born: 11 July 1857 in Magheragall, County Antrim, Ireland Died: 19 May 1942 in Holywood, County Down, Ireland Joseph Larmor was educated at Belfast and Cambridge and taught at Galway, Ireland from 1880 to 1885. He then went to Cambridge becoming Lucasian Professor there in 1903. He worked on electricity, dynamics and thermodynamics. Larmor wrote Aether and Matter in 1900 (renamed by Lamb Aether and no matter ). He gave an explanation of the FitzGerald contraction independently of Lorentz. He was the first to calculate the rate of energy radiation from an accelerating electron and the first to explain the splitting of the spectral lines in a magnetic field. Knighted in 1909, Larmor served as MP for the University of Cambridge from 1911 to 1922. The Royal Society awarded him its Royal Medal in 1915 and its Copley Medal in 1921. He was also awarded the De Morgan Medal of the London Mathematical Society in 1914. Cross-references to History Topics Special relativity Other Web sites MIT, USA

Glowing gases emit light in narrowly defined wavelengths (i.e. colors) , a different set for each substance. In 1897, however, Pieter Zeeman found that when such light was emitted from the region of a strong magnetic field, the emission split into slightly different wavelengths, reverses its polarity during each 11-year cycle. dynamo process In 1919 Sir Joseph Larmor proposed that the fields of sunspots were due to such dynamo currents.

SIR JOSEPH LARMOR (1857 - 1942) physicist Born 11 th Jul 1857, Magheragall, County Antrim Educated Royal Belfast Academical Institution(RBAI), Queen’s College, Belfast, and St John’s College, Cambridge,where he was ‘senior wrangler’ (first-class honours) and first Smith’s prizeman. Professor of natural philosophy at Queen’s College, Galway, 1880. Returned to St John’s in 1885 as a lecturer in mathematics and in 1903 was appointed Lucasian professor of mathematics in Cambridge, in succession to Sir George Stokes. He contributed three extensive papers to the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1894–97) on ‘A dynamical theory of the electric and lumeniferous medium’, which he later revised and extended in book form under the title Aether and Matter He is remembered principally for this work and as the first to give the formula for the radiation of energy from an accelerated electron. He was also the first to give an explanation of the effect of a magnetic field in splitting the lines of the spectrum into multiple lines. Elected FRS 1892 and was honoured by it with a Royal Medal and the Copley Medal in 1921. Secretary of the society 1901–12, knighted 1909. Unionist MP for University of Cambridge, 1911–22. He received many honorary degrees and the freedom of the city of Belfast. Shortly after retiring in 1932 he returned to Ireland and died, unmarried, at Holywood, County Down, 19 May 1942.

He is Professor of Chemistry at the Davy Faraday Research Laboratory, The Royal Institution (RI) of Great Britain, London (of which he was Director 1986-1991). He is also Honorary Research Associate, Department of Materials Science, Cambridge. He received his BSc and PhD degrees from the University of Wales (Swansea), having spent his last year of graduate study at Queen Mary College, London. After a year's research in the UK Atomic Energy Authority, he was appointed in 1958 an Assistant Lecturer (later Senior Lecturer, then Reader) in Chemistry at the University College of Wales, Bangor. In 1969 he became Head of Chemistry at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, a post he held until 1978 when he took up the Headship of the Department of Physical Chemistry (and Professional Fellowship at King's College), University of Cambridge. In 1986 he succeeded Sir George Porter as Director of the RI, London, where he still pursues most of his experimental work. From 1991 to 1994 he was part-time Deputy Pro-Chancellor of the Federal University of Wales. Thomas' current research entails the application of the principles of solid-state chemistry to the atomic design of new catalysts and to their in situ characterisation.

School Structure Dill House Jones House Kelvin House Larmor House ... Stevenson House The House System: School Structure Introduction Initially there were four Houses, each of which was named after a well-known person associated with the School. They were Dill (Sir Samuel Dill, academic), Kelvin (Lord Kelvin, scientist), Larmor (Sir Joseph Larmor, scientist), Pirrie (Lord Pirrie, entrepreneur and benefactor). Later two more Houses were included. They were Jones (R.M. Jones, Principal 1898-1925) and Stevenson (Joseph Stevenson, School Secretary 1807-1837). The House structure survives to the present day. As well as continuing to provide the framework for the House Championship which embraces competition between the Houses in over a dozen sports and activities, it is also the framework for pastoral care at RBAI. Pastoral care is a fundamental aspect of life at RBAI for the pupils and provides a necessary support to the academic curriculum of the School. The pastoral team at RBAI is headed by the Dean, Mr. ET Foster, supported by the six Senior Housemasters and thirty Form Tutors.

The collection includes Kelvin material formerly held at Add. 7618, and items of correspondence formerly held as Add. 2766 (4) 1-66. As with the Stokes Collection (Add. 7656), there are separate sections for correspondence, papers, and notebooks. The main correspondence sequence is particularly extensive, including letters from family, friends, and many important scientists of his day. Among Kelvin's more frequent correspondents are Hugh Blackburn, Arthur Cayley, Charles John Clay, George Howard Darwin, James Dewar, James David Forbes, James Prescott Joule, Joseph Larmor, Oliver Joseph Lodge, Joseph Henry McClure, James Clerk Maxwell, David Reid, John Rennie, Archibald Smith, George Gabriel Stokes, and Peter Guthrie Tait.
