lord rayleigh discovery

William Ramsay and Robert John Strutt (Lord Rayleigh) are the credited founders of the element Argon.

John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, was known for his research into resonance and vibrations of gas and elastic solids. Lord Rayleigh's research into optics, light, color, and electricity also included the determination of electrical units of measurement.

The Rayleigh scattering principle is ascribed to the optical phenomenon that is associated by particles that are smaller than the wavelength of light. It was named after the British physicist Lord Rayleigh.
