"On A New kind of rays"_birth of X-Ray

Image
Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen - German Mechanical Engineer&Physicist. In 8 Nov 1895, Rontgen discovered a new kind of ray named "x-ray" or "Rontgen ray".In 1901,he won prize in Physics to discover new electromagnetic radiation in shorter wavelength which has been breakthrough in medical field diagnosis radiology.    Discovery of X-ray  In 1888,  He was Physics chair in University of wurzberg, his family was in lowa US he decided to emigrate also accept an appointment at Columbia University, before the outbreak of World war 1 changed his plan. One Friday, in 1895 he was working in his laboratory at University of Wurzberg,  Röntgen was investigating the external effects from the various types of vacuum tube equipment—apparatuses from Heinrich Hertz, Johann Hittorf, William Crookes, Nikola Tesla and Philipp von lenard - when electrical discharge is passed  through them.   👨🏼‍🔬He repeated his experiment with one of Lenard's tubes in which a thin aluminium window cov

Snap! Crackle! pop💥

Cartoon Mascots characters  Snap crackle pop of kellogg's Crisped-rice breakfast cereal Rice Krispies. Snap the elder one wearing chef toque as a problem solver.  Crackle ,second one jokester wearing red sleeping Cap. Pop younger one mischievous wearing shako and toque. What's is the relation to this cartoon to Physics? "Physics realvent to all natural and our day to day life"  We already now the fundamental derivatives like Position, Position changes with respected to time nothing but Velocity, velocity changes with respected to time is acceleration. Ok what's acceleration changes with respected to time? It's Jerk. Yeah in our daily activity we feel jerk one of the fundamental derivative. One example   When we are in a car and accelerate as the lights change to green, our acceleration is not constant. In this situation our acceleration is changing, so the motion sensation we are feeling is more likely jerk. Ok then what is snap,crackle, and Pop? Snap is chang

         Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac was an English theoretical Physicist and Noble Laureate, one of the developer of Quantum mechanics and Quantum electrodynamics. In 1933, He shared  Nobel Prize with Erwin Schrodinger     " The discovery of new productive form of atomic theory".          He formulated the Dirac Equation  to describe the behavior  of Fermions and predicted the existence of antimatter. He reconciliated general theory of relativity in quantum Mechanics. He and Fermi joined to form new era called "Fermi- Dirac Statistics"          Dirac was always teased by his friends and colleagues because of his unusual character. Albert Einstein wrote a letter to Paul Ehrenfest , " I have trouble with Dirac. This balancing on the dizzying path between genius and madness is awful".          Dirac studied electrical engineering on the city of Bristol University Scholarship at the University of Bristol engineering faculty, which was co-located with the Merc

Man of Fifth state of Matter

Man work with Great Scientist "Einstein" to developed the new concept of quantum mechanics "Bose Einstein Statistics to explain the fifth state of matter was nothing but Indian Mathematician and Theoretical Physicist " Satyendra Nath Bose". Class of Particles obey  Bose-Einstein Statistics, Bosons was coined by Paul Dirac honor Bose's great contribution in quantum statistics. Bose was born in Kolkata, he completed his BSc in Appied Mathematics in 1913,at Presidency  College. He pursued M.Sc mixed mathematics in 1915 at Science College, Calcutta University. After next year he started his research on "Theory of Relativity". From 1916-21, he was working as a lecturer in Department of Physics Rajabazer Science College. At that time Einstein wrote Special theory of Relativity in German only. Bose and his colleague Saha got permission from Einstein and translate in English. In 1924, Bose wrote an article deriving Plank's Quantum radiation law withou

Inventors of "Speed of light"

Image
  "Fringes are the evidence of interference" Two American Scientist are the inventors of Speed of light. Albert.A.Michelson and Edward. W.Morley American Physicist and Chemist, both are fascinated by light throughout their life.  Michaelson fabricate one interferometer with the help of some lens. They eagerly wanna know  is "ether" existed everywhere in the universe.  While at Annapolis, he conducted his first experiment on the speed of light , as a part of a class demonstration in 1877. After that experiment, he find out the speed of light in air be 299,864+_51 km/s, estimated the speed of light in vaccum  as 299,940 km/s.  They prove that no ether medium is there in earth. To their innovative work, they got noble prize in 1907. Using Michaelson-Morley interferometer, they measured astronomical object diameter.

Take off from London to India "History of Raman Effect"

Sir, C.V.Raman made his trip to London in 1921, invited by English Physicist J.J.Thomson and Lord Rutherford because of Raman's reputation research in acoustics. His nominal research on the vibrations and sound of string instruments  such as Violin, Veena, Tabla and Mridangam. In his return trip from London to Bombay in ship would change his future.  During his voyage, he was fascinated in deep blue sky. His mind blow with sea,think about Rayleigh prediction about sea. Unable to accepting it. Rayleigh explain colour of sea is reflection of sky. When the ship reached the shore. Short a while, Raman find out colour of sea was scattering of sun light in water molecule, blue was the resulting of the scattering by molecule in air. 💐 Finally He find out the mystery of "Light Scattering'
