 Fourier founded a new branch of mathematics — infinite, periodic series —
studied heat flow and infrared radiation, and discovered the greenhouse effect.
 Albert Einstein ----He developed the theory of relativity , he is best known to the general public for
his MASS-ENERGY EQUIVALENCE FORMULA E=MC2…He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in
1921 for his discovery of the law of the PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT ,a pivotal step in the
development of quantum theory (Quantum mechanics is the science of the very small. It explains the
behavior of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles.)
 Physicist Enrico Fermi is credited with the creation of the world's first atomic bomb and nuclear
reactor
 Atomic physicist Niels Bohr made fundamental contributions to understanding atomic structure and
quantum theory.
 Antoine Henri Becquerel (/ˌbɛkəˈrɛl/;[2] French: [ɑ̃ʁi bɛkʁɛl]; 15 December 1852 – 25 August 1908)
was a French engineer, physicist, Nobel laureate, and the first person to discover evidence
of RADIOACTIVITY. For work in this field he, along with Marie Skłodowska-Curie (Marie Curie)
and Pierre Curie,[3] received the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics. The SI unit for radioactivity,
the becquerel (Bq), is named after him.
 Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen----who, on 8 November 1895, produced and
detected electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range known as X-
rays or Röntgen rays, an achievement that earned him the first Nobel Prize in Physics in
1901. [3]
In honour of his accomplishments,
in 2004 the International Union of Pure
and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) named element 111, roentgenium, a
radioactive element with multiple unstable isotopes, after him.
