Valeur estimée
$ 7 000 – 9 000
EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Autograph letter signed ("A. Einstein") to Johannes Stark, Bern, 13 April 1907.

In German. One page on a postcard, 140 x 90mm (lower left margin toned, two file holes, one of which affects one letter of text on verso). Addressed in his hand on verso together with his return address signed "A. Einstein" with a Bern postal cancellation (one file hole affects the second line of Einstein's return address).

Einstein compliments Stark's work utilizing the quantum hypothesis to explain the Doppler effect in light emitted by canal rays. He writes that he is pleased to hear that Stark will continue his work "on the emission of light and absorption of canal rays," and is looking forward to reading his forthcoming paper, "with the same great interest with which I studied your paper of last year." In December 1907, and again in 1908, Stark published additional data on his experiments, work that Einstein described as a "very important" application of quantum theory. Stark (1874-1957) was Dozen Professor of Practical Physics and Photography at the Technical University of Hanover. (See AE to Joab Laub, 1 November 1908 Papers, 5, No. 125). Published in Papers, Vol 5, No. 45. Provenance: M.B. Weisinger, New York.
