ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879-1955)
Born on: 14th March, 1879. Died on: 18th April, 1955.
- Albert Einstein born in Germany in the year 1879.
- He got Noble Prize in the year 1921 for the invention of Solar Cell – a device that can convert light energy into electrical energy.
- Einstein designed Photo Electric Equation to explain the photoelectric effect.
- In the year 1905, he published three papers, which are path-breaking at that time.
- So, after 100 years, the year 2005 was declared as the International Year of Science.
- The first one about light Quanta (now calling as a photon), which is used to explain about Photo-Electric Effect.
- The second one about Brownian Motion.
- The third one is SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY which made Einstein more popular.
- He also created General Theory of Relativity which is also called the Modern theory of Gravitation.
- He designed Mass-Energy equivalent equation E = mC2
- Einstein is also called as Father of Modern Physics.
- He worked with SN Bose and designed Bose-Einstein Statistics which explains about Bosons, integer spin particles.
- Along with Debye, Einstein designed Debye-Einstein’s theory which gives details about specific heat of the solids with respect to temperature.
