Johannes Stark was born on April 15, 1874 in Schickenhof, Bavaria; his father was a landed proprietor.
In 1919 Stark was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for his "discovery of the Doppler effect in canal rays and the splitting of spectral lines in electric fields".
Johannes Stark was a corresponding member of the Academies in Göttingen, Rome, Leyden, Vienna and Calcutta, and was awarded the Baumgartner Prize of the Vienna Academy of Sciences in 1910 and the Vahlbruch Prize of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences in 1914, and also the Matteucci Medal of the Rome Academy.

 Laureates of Tomorrow Nobel Essay Contest
Johannes Stark, who won a Nobel Prize in 1919, managed to show that light is not the only particle that deviates from the wave theory.
Stark showed that these spectral lines (the ones in the visible spectrum at least) are quantized into certain wavelengths and not continuous throughout all wavelengths, indicating that the electron is a particle whose energy can only be defined at certain energy quanta.
Thus, the modern picture of the atom, for which Bohr won the 1922 Nobel Prize, was a particle-based theory, relying on the quantized energy levels of the electron for an explanation of the macroscopic properties of the elements.

 The Liberal Avenger: The Stark Defect: A Case Study in Ideological Attacks on Science
Johannes Stark won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1919, the same year the Peace Prize was given to Woodrow Wilson for "his Fourteen Points peace program and his work in achieving inclusion of the Covenant of the League of Nations in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles".
In his Nobel lecture, which primarily deals with what spectroscopists today refer to as the "Stark effect", Stark refers to "Germanic research" as the opposition of speculative science that was the hallmark of Ancient Greek thought.
The research will go on, but it won't be in the U.S. The beliefs that Stark and his peers held concerning the efficacy of "Aryan science" led to their inability to develop a nuclear weapon.

 Stark effect
The broadening or splitting of a spectral line that results when an electric field slightly changes the energy levels of a radiating atom or ion.
Stark broadening is proportional to the ion and electron density in a plasma and is therefore a good indicator of pressure in a stellar atmosphere and hence of the star's luminosity.
The effect is named after the German physicist Johannes Stark (1874-1957).

Electric field interactions with atoms began before World War I. In 1919 Johannes Stark received the Nobel Prize for demonstrating in 1913 the splitting of the atomic spectral lines with the application of an external electric field gradient of about 20,000 V/cm.
Stark might have gone on to higher ground had he not wasted his time between the wars fighting with the scientific community by espousing Nazi dogma and denying quantum theory.
Since 1919 the 'Stark Effect' has not attracted much attention, i.e., until Harvard's Herschbach, Friedrich, and Slenczka (and others) opened the field of molecular alignment in stronger electric fields.

Since 1933 some scientists have left Germany, others have stayed there and kept quiet, and still others have chimed in with the Nazi idea that German science should be distinct from the brands of science in evidence elsewhere.
Thus thundered doughty Professor Stark in the columns of Nature, probably the best-known scientific journal in the world.
At first glance it seemed curious that the editors of Nature bothered to print Professor Stark's expostulation at all.
