Close Please copy/paste the following text to properly cite this HowStuffWorks article: Millikan, Robert Andrews (1868-1953), a United States physicist. In 1909 Millikan became the first to measure the electrical charge of a single electron, by means of an experiment with oil droplets. In 1916 he verified Albert Einstein's photoelectric equation, an application of quantum theory which deals with the transformation of light energy into mechanical energy. Millikan made another valuable contribution to the quantum theory at the same time by determining Planck's constant (h) with great accuracy. He received the 1923 Nobel Prize in physics. Most of Millikan's later work was devoted to the then little-known radiations that he named cosmic rays in 1927. He and his collaborators proved definitely during 1922-26 that the rays reach the earth from outer space. He traveled to Bolivia, Tasmania, and India to investigate the intensity and penetrating power of cosmic rays. Millikan was born in Morrison, Illinois. He received his B.A. in 1891 and M.A. in 1893 from Oberlin College, and his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1895. During 1895-96 he studied at the universities of Berlin and Göttingen. Millikan became an assistant in physics at the University of Chicago in 1896 and advanced to a full professorship in 1910. During World War I he headed the science and research division of the U.S. Army's Signal Corps.

The British became convinced that it was a German trick. It turned out to be disturbances caused by sunspots over 93 million miles away. The True Story of Black Hawk Down Cosmos Collector's Edition Boxed set - VHS Carl Sagan's COSMOS is one of the most influential science programs ever made. Q. Does the moon have a dark side? A. The moon does have a far side which is impossible to see from the earth, but it doesn't mean that it's always dark. Each side of the moon is dark for no longer than 15 days at a time. Q. Where does sound come from? A. The air is always filled with sound waves. All things give off vibrations, but some have a low frequency which most cannot hear. The reason: it may take 3 minutes to make a single vibration. They may be caused by earthquakes and storms. Did You Know?
