Re: General Quiz

Hi;

The Answer #6551 is correct. Neat work, bobbym!

#6553.  Name the Dutch theoretical physicist and thermodynamicist famous for his work on an equation of state for gases and liquids (23 November 1837 - 8 March 1923). A largely self-taught man in mathematics and physics, he originally worked as a school teacher. He became the first physics professor of the University of Amsterdam when in 1877 the old Athenaeum was upgraded to Municipal University. He won the 1910 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the equation of state for gases and liquids.

#6554. Name the German physicist  (13 January 1864 – 30 August 1928) who, in 1893, used theories about heat and electromagnetism to deduce his displacement law, which calculates the emission of a blackbody at any temperature from the emission at any one reference temperature. He also formulated an expression for the black-body radiation which is correct in the photon-gas limit. His arguments were based on the notion of adiabatic invariance, and were instrumental for the formulation of quantum mechanics. He received the 1911 Nobel Prize for his work on heat radiation.
