Albert Abraham Michelson
Courtesy "Polish-Origin Nobel Prize Laureates" Albert Abraham Michelson was born on December 19, 1852, in Strelno, Prussia (today Strzelno, Poland). At age two, he and his parents immigrated to the United States. From New York, the family made its way to Virginia City, Nevada, and San Francisco, California. At age 17 Michelson entered the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD, and graduated in 1873. As a student Michelson was fascinated with the sciences in general, and the problem of measuring the speed of light in particular. After two years of study in Europe, Michelson was assigned to the U.S. Naval Academy as an officer instructor in physics and chemistry. He conducted his first determination of the speed of light while at the Naval Academy (published in ). This measurement remained the best for a generation, and when it was finally improved ( ), Michelson was the one who did it. In 1881 he accepted a position as professor of physics at the Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland and concentrated on improving his interferometer. By 1887, Michelson and colleague Edward Williams Morley conducted what was to be known as the Michelson-Morley experiment . Their experiment showed that there was no significant motion of the Earth relative to the ether , the hypothetical medium in which light waves were supposed to travel. This result later became the foundation of Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

http://www.mujweb.cz/www/nobelfyzika/1907.htm
Albert Abraham Michelson (19. prosince 1852 – 9. kvìtna 1931) Nobelovu cenu získal v roce 1907 za pøesné optické pøístroje a za spektroskopické a metrologické výzkumy, které jejich pomocí provedl. Americký fyzik nìmeckého pùvodu Albert Abraham Michelson se narodil v roce 1852 v Nìmecku, ale rodina se záhy pøestìhovala do San Franciska. Bìhem života se Michelson stal profesorem na univerzitì ve Worcesteru a Chicagu a v letech 1923 – 1927 byl prezidentem národní akademie vìd USA. Celý svùj život se Michelson vìnoval práci v oblast optiky. Ze zaèátku se zabýval analýzou svìtla a svìtelných jevù. Jako první provedl bìhem své studijní cesty v Berlínì v letech 1880 – 1881 názorný pokus na existenci tzv. éterového vìtru a v roce 1887 v Clevelandu tento pokus s ještì vìtší pøesností zopakoval. Michelson zjistil, že se svìtlo šíøí všemi smìry stejnou rychlostí nezávisle na pohybu jeho zdroje. Tento objev mìl pro fyziku obrovský význam a vedl A. Einsteina k formulaci základního postulátu teorie relativity – k principu konstantní rychlosti svìtla. Pro svùj pokus si Michelson zkonstruoval pøístroj – interferometr, pomocí kterého provedl i jiná významná mìøení. V letech 1892 – 1893 pomocí nìj srovnával délku metru s délkou svìtelné vlny a zkoumal strukturu spektrálních èar. Pozdìji sestrojil také hvìzdný interferometr, který umožòoval mìøit úhlové prùmìry hvìzd.

Albert Abraham Michelson nemÅ¡ko ameriÅ¡ki fizik 19. december ... Prusija , danes Strzelno Poljska 9. maj Pasadena ... ZDA Ko je bil Michelson star 2 leti je priÅ¡el s starÅ¡i v ZDA. Družina se je odpravila za zahod, kjer je prav tedaj vladala zlata mrzlica. Družina se ni vklučila v iskanje rud ampak je odprla trgovino. Mladi Albert je zaprosil za sprejem v Pomorsko akademijo ZDA. Pri tem ga je podpiral član kongresa, predstavnik Nevade , ki je predsednika Granta opozoril na politično korist usluge, s katero bi si pridobili podporo vplivnega židovskega trgovca na razvijajočem se zahodu. Na akademiji se je Michelson odlikoval v znanostih , v pomorskih vedah pa je bil precej pod povprečjem. Diplomiral je leta in ostal do konca desetletja na akademiji kot profesor, vendar pri tem ni imel omembe vrednega uspeha. Raziskoval je v eksperimentalni fiziki Leta se je začel ukvarjati z delom, kateremu je posvetil vse življenje. Četa je prvi in pozneje Å¡e nekajkrat natančno izmeril svetlobno hitrost c . Pri tem je sodeloval z Newcombom . Prvi je meril svetlobno hitrost R¸mer , sledili so mu Bradley Foucault in Fizeau . Michelson je sklenil, da jih bo s svojo doma narejeno napravo prekosil. Uporabil je Foucaultov postopek z nekaterimi manjÅ¡imi izboljÅ¡avami in že objavil svoje prve rezultate. Dobil je vrednost 299.860.000 ± 60.000

Albert Abraham Michelson Click here for full size picture (b. Dec. 19, 1852, Strelno, Prussiad. May 9, 1931, Pasadena, Calif., U.S.), German-born U.S. physicist who established the speed of light as a fundamental constant and pursued other spectroscopic and meteorological investigations. He received the 1907 Nobel Prize for Physics. Michelson came to the United States with his parents when he was two years old. From New York, the family made its way to Virginia City, Nev., and San Francisco, where the elder Michelson prospered as a merchant. At 17, Michelson entered the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., where he did well in science but was rather below average in seamanship. He was graduated in 1873, then served as science instructor at the academy from 1875 until 1879. In 1878 Michelson began work on what was to be the passion of his life, the accurate measurement of the speed of light. He was able to get useful values with homemade apparatus. Feeling the need to study optics before he could be qualified to make real progress, he travelled to Europe in 1880 and spent two years in Berlin, Heidelberg, and Paris, resigning from the navy in 1881. Upon his return to the United States, he determined the velocity of light to be 299,853 kilometres (186,329 miles) per second, a value that remained the best for a generation. When it was bettered, Michelson bettered it. While in Europe, Michelson began constructing an interferometer, a device designed to split a beam of light in two, send the parts along perpendicular paths, then bring them back together. If the light waves had, in the interim, fallen out of step, interfererence fringes of alternating light and dark bands would be obtained. From the width and number of those fringes, unprecedently delicate measurements could be made, comparing the velocity of light rays travelling at right angles to each other.
