His thesis research, on the electromagnetic properties of nuclear systems, was directed by J. Robert Oppenheimer. In 1938 he became an instructor in physics at Columbia University, New York, becoming a professor in 1948, and from 1943 to 1951 he was also associated with the Columbia Radiation Laboratory. It was at Columbia that he performed the experiments on the fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum that led to his receiving the 1955 Nobel Prize for physics. Shortly after World War II, Lamb began his work to check the accuracy of the predictions of Paul Dirac as they related to the energy levels and spectral lines of hydrogen. Dirac's quantum mechanical theory predicted that the hydrogen atom had two possible energy states with equal energies. Lamb's accurate work using radiofrequency resonance techniques, reported in 1947, revealed that there was a minute difference in these energy levels. Small as it was, this Lamb shift necessitated a revision of the theory of the interaction of the electron with electromagnetic radiation. For this work Lamb was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics, which he shared with another leader of research at Columbia, Polykarp

July 12, 1913, Los Angeles, Calif., U.S.), American physicist and joint winner, with Polykarp Kusch, of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1955 for experimental work that spurred refinements in the quantum theories of electromagnetic phenomena. Lamb joined the faculty of Columbia University in 1938 and worked in the radiation laboratory there during World War II. Though the quantum mechanics of Paul A.M. Dirac had predicted the hyperfine structure of the lines that appear in the spectrum (dispersed light, as by a prism), Lamb applied new methods to measure the lines and in 1947 found their positions to be slightly different from what had been predicted. While a professor of physics at Stanford University, California, (1951-56), Lamb devised microwave techniques for examining the hyperfine structure of the spectral lines of helium. He was professor of theoretical physics at the University of Oxford until 1962, when he was appointed professor of physics at Yale University. In 1974 he became professor of physics and optical sciences at the University of Arizona. Related Propaedia Topics: The electromagnetic field and the theory of electromagnetic radiation

Close Please copy/paste the following text to properly cite this HowStuffWorks article: Lamb, Willis Eugene, Jr. (1913-) is an American atomic physicist whose research into the atomic structure of hydrogen led to his discovery that energy levels of hydrogen fluctuated slightly. For his discovery, called the Lamb shift, he was awarded the 1955 Nobel Prize in physics, shared with German-born American physicist Polykarp Kusch. A native Californian, Lamb received his B.S. degree in chemistry in 1934 from the University of California at Berkeley (UCB). He continued his graduate studies in physics there under physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, focusing on the electromagnetic properties of nuclear particles, and received his Ph.D. degree in 1938. From 1938 through 1951, he was a faculty member at Columbia University and, from 1943 on, a research scientist at Columbia's Radiation Laboratory. After leaving Columbia, Lamb taught at Stanford, Harvard, Oxford, and Yale universities and the University of Arizona. Lamb's most important discovery upset theories of atomic structure that had been accepted since the 1920's. British physicist Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac had described energy levels of the hydrogen atom. Dirac predicted that two levels of hydrogen, one stable and one metastable —halfway between stable and excited—were distinct states but had the same level of energy. Lamb was able to analyze the hyperfine structure of the hydrogen atom spectrum. He exposed a beam of metastable hydrogen to microwave radiation in a magnetic field. Some of the atoms absorbed radiation and some did not. His experiments established that the energy of the two levels was slightly different, a change called the Lamb shift. This discovery led to new discoveries in the area of particle interactions and radiation and to an entirely new way of viewing the relationship between energy and matter.
