Chemist and physicist Ernest Rutherford was born August 30, 1871. Ernest, a pioneer of nuclear physics and the first to split the atom was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his theory of atomic structure. He was named “Father of the Nuclear Age.” Ernest Rutherford was very intelligent and responsible for remarkable discoveries. Ernest Rutherford was born on August 30,1871 at Spring Grove in rural Nelson. He was the fourth of twelve children in his family; James and Martha were his parents

Student’s name Professor Course Date To determine the wavelength of light from a He-Ne laser and the refractive index of air Abstract The main aim of the experiment was to determine the wavelength of light from a He-Ne laser and the refractive index of air. The experiments were conducted using the Michelson interferometer. In the first experimental procedure, the number of fringes as well as the distance moved by the mirror was recorded. The values were used to calculate the wavelength, which

perception whose conclusion is that we never (directly) perceive physical things of any sort expect our own inner experiences in our brains. The author of the time lag argument assumes that by simply appealing to facts from the uncontestable laws of physics, one will realize that the common belief about objects of vision are mistaken. However, in this paper, I will show that the author has failed to realize that the key to the argument is the notion that we perceive things happen when they happen, and

character of the radiation emitted by a glowing solid object constituted one of themajor unsolved problems during the second half of the nineteenth century. All attempts to explain this phenomenon by means of the available theories of classical physics (statistical thermodynamics and classical electromagnetic theory) ended up in miserable failure. This problem consisted in essence of specifying the proper theory of thermodynamics that describes how energy gets exchanged between radiation and

and a few lost voices in the wilderness increase into a new way of thinking. For example, explorations of chaos theory took a long time to take root, and his ideas were marginalized, because they lay outside the established classical paradigm of physics. Early Chaos Theorists found difficulties in receiving funding, finding supervisors, and finding journals willing to publish their research. Kuhn’s paradigm definition is a little more than a theory, although the terms are often used interchangeably

personal ideals, or being a man of integrity. Stephen Hawking was a famous scientist who was honored throughout the world. He had many accomplishments that he was honored for. For example, he won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Wolf Prize in Physics, the Copley Medal, the Albert Einstein Medal, and so many more. He was honored for the work he had accomplished in the science world. Some of the work that Stephen Hawking has done to be recognized by the scientific community was developing a
