Inventors of "Speed of light"

-
  "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.

Authors Rajakani,  Bartholomew Richard Electromagnetic Spectrum Electromagnetic Spectrum is a combination of different electromagnetic waves with different frequency. EM waves were order from lower frequency to higher frequency range. oh what are that? " Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible, UV, X Ray, Gamma Ray" How to remember everything., it is easy dude. Figure Credit: @chemistrywrites     Figure credit : Wikipedia Radio waves  Radio waves are an higher wavelength electromagnetic wave. Clark Maxwell first predicted radio waves with his theory, which measured as unit in Hz. you turn on a radio, the radio receives the radio waves in the air and converts them into an electrical signal, which is converted to sound waves, and the radio amplifier then boosts the sound waves so that you can hear the music. Figure Credit : India times      radio wave is broadcast in different frequencies which can include FM radio waves that broadcast between 88 MHz and 108 MHz, and AM

 Author Rajakani Electromagnetic spectrum continuation.... Previous post about EMspectrum Visible Spectrum We are all see and enjoy colors from our day to day life. Human eye has some limitation to sense particular wavelength of electromagnetic spectrum, those are all we call as "visible light".  sun is the main natural source light up the world. Here, dispersion of light get VIBGYOR colors which means shorter wavelength to longer wavelength 3000-7000 Armstrong. oh ok how other colors are form like brown, black, pink etc. I n White light formation was depend on Primary colors like RGB model. RGB model is nothing Red, Green, Blue . combination of these 3 colors to form a white light.  its fully depends on light intensity if you have high intensity light of these 3 colors to form white light. sadly, if you do it in home with these 3 color crayons you get dark color only. because, proper mixture of these 3 colors only you get white. these RGB model was worked in most of day to d

         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
