Albert Abraham Michelson (December 19, 1852 - May 9, 1931) was an American physicist known for his work on the measurement of the speed of light and especially for the Michelson-Morley experiment. In 1907 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics. He became the first American to receive the Nobel Prize in sciences.
S.Chandra sekar received the 1983 Nobel Prize in physics. Chandra's uncle, SIR.C.V.RAman, received the 1930 Nobel Prize in physics for discovering the Raman effect, which describes the diffraction of light by crystals. Raman was the first Asian to receive a Nobel Prize in science.
Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was an Indian physicist whose work was influential in the growth of science in the world.He was the first Asian scientist to win the Nobel Prize He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is now called Raman scattering and is the result of the Raman effect.
Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman won the Nobel prize for physics in 1930 for his work on the scattering of light, and, for the discovery of the effect named after him.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1997 was awarded jointly to Steven Chu, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and William D. Phillips for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light.
Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his 1905 paper on the photo-electric effect, in which light hitting a metal surface could generate electricity. This was the theoretical basis for all of the solar power collectors that you see everywhere.

Albert Michaelson, but it's not the Nobel Peace prize. (The speed of llight has nothing to do with peace.)
The first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics was Albert A. Michelson. He was cited in 1907 for the invention of the interferometer, for spectroscopic investigations, and for measurements of the speed of light over a period of 50 years.

The first American to win the Nobel Prize for measuring the speed of light was Albert A. Michelson in 1907. His precise measurements helped advance the understanding of the fundamental constant and its significance in physics.
Albert Abraham Michelson (1852-1931), a German-born American physicist, who specialized in the interaction between energy and matter, received the 1907 Nobel Prize in Physics, becoming the first American to win the award. The prize recognized two of Michelson's achievements: his design of extremely sensitive optical (light-gathering) instruments, and the accurate measurements of the speed of light he gathered using those instruments.
S.Chandra sekar received the 1983 Nobel Prize in physics. Chandra's uncle, SIR.C.V.RAman, received the 1930 Nobel Prize in physics for discovering the Raman effect, which describes the diffraction of light by crystals. Raman was the first Asian to receive a Nobel Prize in science.
Nobel Peace prizes are awared to those who have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses". Not for discoveries in physics. There is a separate Nobel prize for physics, but it doesn't seem as if any of those were awared in relation to measuring the speed of light.
