Lorentz (unit)

The Lorentz , named after the Dutch physicist Hendrik Antoon Lorentz , was a unit of spectral resolution that was used in atomic spectroscopy . It was defined by Bohr's magneton , Planck's constant and the speed of light : ${\displaystyle \mu _{\text{B}}}$ ${\displaystyle h}$ ${\displaystyle c}$

${\displaystyle 1\,{\text{Lorentz}}={\frac {\mu _{\text{B}}}{h\cdot c}}=46{,}7\,\mathrm {\frac {1}{T\cdot m}} }$
