What is the major contribution of jj Thompson in science?
Joseph John Thomson (1856 - 1940) is credited with discovering the electron. He worked extensively with cathode ray(electrons) tubes and his work led to the development of the mass spectroscope. He developed a model of the atomand, like many brilliant scientists, his model was further refined leading to increasingly better understanding of the structure of the atom. Thomson's student Ernest Rutherford actually proved that Thomson's model of the atom was incorrect.Thomson then went on to study the nature of positively charged ions.Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1906.Rutherford was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry 1908 for his work on alpha particles.JJ Thomson's son was also a winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1937.
How many numbers are in pi?
Pi eventually stops at 132 billion. Mathmaticians, James. F Feurgson and Dr. Ham Shulster recently founded this amazing discovery. They are told to win the nobel peace prize on 2011.Ans. 2The above answer is incorrect, for several good reasons.It has been proved that pi is irrational, so the digits go on forever.132 billion contains only 12 decimal digits. Pi was calculated to eight million digits and published in a book around twenty years ago. The known digits in pi are now too many to fit in a book.Nobody has been, or will be, told in 2010 that they have been selected for a Nobel Prize in 2011. The jury is nowhere near finishing the selection process, and the winners will be notified privately just hours before the news is released officially.You can't get a Nobel Peace Prize for work in number theory.There is no Nobel category for mathematics. The only mathematician ever to win a Nobel got it for work relating to Economics, which does have a category.This 'discovery' is not just amazing; to the maths world it would be earth-shattering. All of us would have heard about it before now.
How many Nobel Prizes won by Einstein?
Just one - 1921 Nobel prize (physics). Curiously, rather than receiving an award for his more famous work on relativity, he won it for his work on the photoelectric effect, which was responsible, in part at least, for the development of quantum theory. It is arguable that, given the work that had been done previously by the likes of, for example, Lorentz, relativity was a theory waiting to happen, whereas the photoelectric effect was much more novel and far-reaching in its effects.
