3 lives in this collection worked in thermal radiation, from 1824 to today. Each has a full course on their life and the mathematics and physics they made.
Mathematical physicist who formulated the circuit laws, founded spectral analysis with Bunsen, and stated the law of thermal radiation that defined the black-body problem.
mathematical physics, electrical circuits, spectroscopy
Viennese physicist of Slovene origin who discovered the fourth-power law of thermal radiation and founded the theory of multicomponent diffusion and moving-boundary heat problems.
thermal radiation, kinetic theory of gases, heat conduction
Physicist who found the displacement law and the high-frequency distribution law of black-body radiation, and identified the positive particles of canal rays with crossed electric and magnetic fields.
