释义
Rayleigh, Lord (1842–1919)

Physics
  • who built a private laboratory after working at Cambridge University. His work in this laboratory included the discovery of Rayleigh scattering (see scattering of electromagnetic radiation). He also worked in acoustics, electricity, and optics, as well as collaborating with William Ramsay on the discovery of argon. He was awarded the 1904 Nobel Prize for physics.


Statistics
  • awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1904. Strutt graduated from Cambridge U in 1865 and joined the faculty. In 1871 he published his theory of scattering which explained why the sky was blue. In 1873, following his father's death, he became the third Baron Rayleigh. After a period managing his 7000-acre estates he returned to Cambridge as Head of the Cavendish Laboratory (1879–84). From 1887 to 1905 he was Professor of Natural Philosophy at the Royal Institution. His early work in mathematical physics extended to cover a wide range of physical problems. He was President of the LMS in 1876 and was awarded its de Morgan Medal in 1900. He was elected FRS in 1873 and was awarded the Royal Society's Royal Medal in 1882 and its Copley Medal in 1899, serving as the Society's President from 1905 to 1908. He was elected FRSE in 1886. He was awarded the Order of Merit in 1902 and was appointed Chancellor of Cambridge U in 1908. There are craters named after him on both the Moon and Mars.

Chemical Engineering
  • A British scientist born as John William Strutt. He studied mathematics at Cambridge and was appointed professor of experimental physics and head of the Cavendish laboratory at Cambridge in 1879. He succeeded to the barony on the death of his father in 1873. He was appointed professor of natural philosophy at the Royal Institution until 1905, was president of the Royal Society between 1905 and 1908, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1904. His contribution to science covered many aspects of physics including optics, vibrating systems, sound, wave theory, colour vision, electrodynamics, electromagnetism, light scattering, flow of liquids, hydrodynamics, density of gases, viscosity, capillarity, elasticity, and photography. He published extensively and contributed to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
