A | B |
Joule | Relationship between work and temperature, dQ=Mass*Specific Heat*change in temperature |
Rumford | Specific Heat, drilling into metal heats it up |
Boyle | PV = constant if T is constant |
Charles | Vi*Ti=Vf*Tf if Pressure is constant |
Gibbs | Statistical Mechanics |
Carnot | Carnot cycle; most efficient system |
Kelvin | Temperature scale, absolute zero. Impossible to make something 100% efficient |
Clausius | Awesome beard, N-Step Cycles Theorem. dQ*T < or = to zero (Equal if reversible). A continuous cycle has infinite steps |
Maxwell | Demonic summonings, Statistical Mechanics, Silver Hammer (bang bang) |
Boltzmann | Constant, S=k*ln(W) |
Rontgen | Cathode Rays, X-Rays, 1st Nobel Prize |
JJ Thomson | Cathode Rays as Charged Particles, Charge to Mass Ratio of an electron |
Millikan | Oil Drop Experiment to discover Electron Charge |
Einstein | Photoelectron |
Compton | Photon Scattering off Electron |
von Laue | X-Ray Scattering off crystals. 3-D Diffraction Grating |
Bragg | Also Scattering off crystals, namesake method |
DeBroglie | Particles have Wavelengths! |
Davison and Germer | Nickel scattering, proved electrons have wavelength |
Bohr | Complementarity, duality. Can't describe as particle and wave at same time. |
Heisenberg | I'm not really certain what he did |
Copenhagen Interpretation | Measurement is only reality |
