PIONEERS OF ACOUSTICS Lord Rayleigh 1842-1919 This article refers to John William Strutt as Rayleigh throughout, although he did not succeed to the title until he was 30 years old. He was one of the very few members of higher nobility to win fame as an outstanding scientist. His father was the second Baron Rayleigh of Terling Place, Witham in the county of Essex. It was a family that had little connection with science for its members were mostly landowners with extensive holdings and interests in the countryside. One exception was Robert Boyle - a distant relation. Lord Rayleigh at his desk The Rayleigh title was originally given to his grandmother, Charlotte, on her husband’s suggestion. Joseph Holden Strutt had declined personal honours throughout his life, and probably did not wish to be raised to the peerage as he would then have been obliged to resign his seat in the House of Commons. The title had been offered by George III in recognition of Joseph’s duties in the army and in Parliament. On Charlotte’s death in 1836, the title passed to their only son John James Strutt, who became the second Baron Rayleigh. John James Strutt, a deeply religious man, led the life of a country squire in Essex, north-east of London. Aged 46, he married Clara Elizabeth LaTouche Vicars, who was only 17 at the time. John William, their eldest son, was born on 12 November 1842 at Langford Grove, near Maldon, Essex.

63. Agnes Pockels & Lord Rayleigh rayleigh, March 2. Brunswick, January 10. My lord, Will you kindly excusemy venturing to trouble you with a German letter on a scientific subject? http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~cwp/articles/pockels/pockels.html

Nature, March 12 1891 Surface Tension I shall be obliged if you can find space for the accompanying translation of an interesting letter which I have received from a German lady, who with very homely appliances has arrived at valuable results respecting the behaviour of contaminated water surfaces. The earlier part of Miss Pockel's letter covers nearly the same ground as some of my own recent work, and in the main harmonizes with it. The later sections seem to me very suggestive, raising, if they do not fully answer, many important questions. I hope soon to find opportunity for repeating some of Miss Pockels' experiments. - RAYLEIGH, March 2. Brunswick, January 10. My lord, Will you kindly excuse my venturing to trouble you with a German letter on a scientific subject? Having heard of the fruitful researches carried on by you last year on the hitherto little understood properties of water surfaces, I thought it might interest you to know of my own observations on the subject. For various reasons I am not in a position to publish them in scientific periodicals, and I therefore adopt this means of communicating to you the most important of them. First, I will describe a simple method, which I have employed for several years, for increasing or diminishing the surface of a liquid in any proportion, by which its purity may be altered at pleasure.

64. RAYLEIGH - BENARD CONVECTION In the 1900s convection was taken as one of the myriad things that John WilliamStrutt, lord rayleigh studied in his illustrious and prolific carrier. http://engr.smu.edu/~arunn/html/convect/rbconvect/rbcon.html

Rayleigh - Bénard Convection Arunn Narasimhan arunn@engr.smu.edu Laboratory for Porous Materials Applications Mechanical Engineering Department Southern Methodist University Dallas, TX - 75275 0337, USA Nature of the Problem Early Theories Rayleigh's Theory Buoyancy, Viscosity, Thermal diffusivity ... References Last update : THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM The most fascinating thing about convection is that even the simplest system undergoing convective motion cannot yet be given an exact analytical mathematical description. The partial differential equation(s) that describe the convective flow analytically have been studied for the past 200 years- with rewarding results - but the exact analytical solutions of these are yet to be found ! The nature of the theoretical difficulties can be understood well if we realize that even a simple system undergoing convective energy interaction requires a complete knowledge of the Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer involved in the process. A fluid layer heated from below, a supposedly simple system of convective interaction, experiences forces, that drive the convective flow, resulting from the buoyancy of the heated layer the magnitude of such forces depending on the temperature difference prevailing between the top and bottom portion of the fluid layer. The complexity is enhanced further by the fact that the temperature distribution is affected to a large extent by the convective flow itself, which carries heat from the bottom to the relatively colder top portion of the fluid. In other words the driving force which causes the flow itself is driven to modifications by the flow !

Juni bei Witham, England) war ein englischer Physiker ( Nobelpreis für Physik In der Kindheit war Rayleigh von schwächlicher Konstitution, seine Schulbesuche in Eton und Harrow waren deshalb nur von kurzer Dauer. Erste Zeichen einer gewissen mathematischen Begabung zeigte er im Internat von Reverend Warner, wo er auf den Universitätsbesuch vorbereitet wurde. ging er an Trinity College in Cambridge (England), um Mathematik zu studieren. Nach dem Abschluss erhielt er von bis ein Stipendium am Trinity College. musste er wegen eines rheumatischen Anfalls das Land verlassen, er reiste nach Ägypten und Griechenland. Nach seiner Rückkehr ein Jahr darauf verstarb sein Vater und Rayleigh hatte traditionsgemäß die Landwirtschaft der Familie zu übernehmen, die er an seinen jüngeren Bruder übergab. Jetzt konnte er sich wieder voll den Naturwissenschaften widmen. folgte er James Clerk Maxwell als Professor für Experimentalphysik und Leiter des Cavendish-Laboratoriums in Cambridge berufen.

LORD RAYLEIGH`S ACTIVE NITROGEN What of nitrogen? Is not it`s apparent great simplicity of action all a sham? Michael Faraday In 1910 R.J.Strutt (Lord Rayleigh) discovered that an electrical discharge in nitrogen gas produced "active nitrogen", an allotrope considered to be monatomic.

1908 - The Ether (Aether) of Space and auxiliary files by Lord Rayleigh and Sir Oliver Lodge courtesy of Bruce L. Rosenberg Friday, February 21, 1908 THE RIGHT HON. LORD RAYLEIGH, O.M. P.C. M.A. D.C.L. LL.D. Sc.D. Pres.R.S., in the Chair SIR OLIVER LODGE, LL.D. D.Sc. F.R.S. M.R.I The Ether of Space THIRTY years ago Clerk Maxwell gave in this place a remarkable address on "Action at a Distance." It is reported in your Journal, Vol. VII., and to it I would direct attention. Most natural philosophers hold, and have held, that action at a distance across empty space is impossible-in other words, that matter cannot act where it is not, but only where it is. The question "where is it?" is a further question that may demand attention and require more than a superficial answer. For it can be argued on the hydrodynamic or vortex theory of matter, as well as on the electrical theory, that every atom of matter has a universal though nearly infinitesimal prevalence, and extends everywhere; since there is no definite sharp boundary or limiting periphery to the region disturbed by its existence. The lines of force of an isolated electric charge extend throughout illimitable space. And though a charge of opposite sign will curve and concentrate them, yet it is possible to deal with both charges, by the method of superposition, as if they each existed separately without the other. In that case, therefore, however far they reach, such nuclei clearly exert no "action at a distance" in the technical sense.

J ohn William Strutt, lord Rayleigh – poslední koryfej klasické fyziky M. Kucharski, MIKROKOM s.r.o., Pod Vinicí 622, 143 00 Praha 4 „Jediná zásluha, kterou si uvìdomuji, je, že jsem mìl potìšení ze svého badání, a jakékoli výsledky, které souvisejí s mými výzkumy, jsou následkem toho, že mi bylo potìšením stát se fyzikem“ [2]. Tato skromná slova vyslovil lord Rayleigh pøi pøevzetí vyznamenání za zásluhy Order of Merit . Fyzika byla pro nìj posláním, kterému se vìnoval z èisté touhy po poznání. Pocházel z bohaté rodiny, mohl si užívat pohodlného a rozmarného života bohatého šlechtice, volil však øeholi vìdy. Rayleigh (1842–1919) byl jednou z nejvýznamnìjších postav vìdy konce XIX. století a lze ho srovnávat s H. Helmholtzem, J. C. Maxwellem nebo lordem Kelvinem. Patøil do vzácné skupiny fyzikù, kteøí se stejnì svobodnì cítili jak v oblasti matematické fyziky, tak i v oblasti fyziky experimentální. Umožnilo mu to dosáhnout vynikajících pùvodních vìdeckých výsledkù. Kromì epochálního díla Teorie zvuku publikoval pøes 400 prací, které lze zaøadit do matematiky, obecné mechaniky, pružnosti pevných látek, vlastností plynù, kinetické teorie plynù, kapilarity, hydrodynamiky, akustiky, termodynamiky, magnetismu, elektøiny a optiky. Jeho jméno žije v mnoha termínech, napø. Rayleighùv rozptyl, Rayleighùv-Jeansùv zákon, Rayleighùv interferometr, Rayleighovo rozlišovací kritérium, Rayleighova vzdálenost nebo v seizmologii Rayleighova vlna. Dokázal pracovat na více problémech souèasnì a nebylo to na úkor kvality nebo hloubky jejich zpracování. Napøíklad bìhem tøíletého období, kdy došlo k objevu argonu, pøispìl do vìdecké literatury dvanácti èlánky pojednávajícími o interferenci a rozptylu svìtla, o telefonu a jeho technických problémech a provádìl také mìøení prahu slyšitelnosti.

Slavní lidé, kteøí se zabývali akustikou John William Strutt, tøetí baron Rayleigh Autor knihy The Theory of Sound je výjimeènou osobností britské fyziky pøinejmenším proto, že zatímco máme èetné pøíklady mužù, jež nabyli šlechtického stavu odmìnou za svou výjimeènou vìdeckou práci, jen málokterý šlechtic zdìdivší svùj titul zasvìtil svùj život vìdì. Lord Rayleigh se narodil jako John William Strutt, prvorozený syn druhého barona Rayleigha z Terling Planu. Jeho bezprostøední pøedchùdci byli venkovští dobráci s minimálním èi žádným zájmem o vìdeckou èinnost, aèkoliv jedna z jeho babièek byla potomkem bratra Roberta Boyla. Ve svém dìtství Rayleigh neprojevoval žádnou pøedèasnou vyspìlost, ale oèividnì projevoval veliký zájem o svìt kolem sebe. Jeho vzdìlání bylo velmi èasto pøerušované. Krátké pobyty v Etonu a Harrowu byly pøerušeny z dùvodu špatného zdraví. Ètyøi roky pøed vstupem na univerzitu strávil v internátní škole vedené reverendem panem Warrenem v Highsteadu, kde se zaèaly projevovat jeho vlohy k matematice. Vrame se k Rayleighovi. Je zajímavé, že jeho první experimentální výzkumy se týkaly elektøiny a zabývaly se èinností promìnných proudù na galvanometru. Jeho výzkumy byly prezentovány v jeho první pøednášce pro Norwichské setkání Britské asociace pro rozvoj vìd v roce 1868. Ale už brzy poté byl ponoøen do úplnì jiné problematiky, napøíklad ve výzkumu barevného vidìní. Jeho druhou prací bylo pojednání o akustice, která zjevnì vznikla na základì jeho ètení Helmholtzovy slavné práce "O vjemu tónù" (1863). Od té doby se mezi ním a Maxwellem odehrávalo mnoho komunikace, protože Maxwell byl vždy dychtivý pomoci mladšímu kolegovi. Rayleighova experimentální práce byla provádìna v Terlingu, v improvizované laboratoøi. Pozdìji, když zdìdil pozùstalost, vybavil své pracovištì lépe.
