Extractions: Angstrom, Anders Jonas (1814-1874), a Swedish physicist. Angstrom made a detailed map of the sun's spectrum. He discovered hydrogen in the sun's atmosphere and was the first to study the spectrum of the aurora borealis. The angstrom, a unit used in measuring the length of light waves, was named in his honor. He attended the University of Uppsala, then taught there for 35 years.

Sir Owen Willans Richardson Nobel Winners picture, Nobel Winners Bio Sir Owen Willans Richardson (18791959) English physicist, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1928 for his work on http://www.nobel-winners.com/Physics/sir_owen_willans_richardson.html
Extractions: English physicist, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1928 for his work on electron emission by hot metals, the basic principle used in vacuum tubes. He was born on the 26th of April, 1879, at Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England, as the only son of Joshua Henry and Charlotte Maria Richardson. Richardson, a graduate (1900) of Trinity College, Cambridge, and a student of J.J. Thomson at the Cavendish Laboratory, was appointed professor of physics at Princeton University (1906-13). In 1911 he proved that electrons are emitted from hot metal and not from the surrounding air, as some had thought. That same year he proposed a mathematical equation that relates the rate of electron emission to the absolute temperature of the metal. This equation, called Richardson's law or the Richardson-Dushmann equation, became an important aid in electron-tube research and technology. In 1914 Richardson became professor of physics and, 10 years later, director of research at King's College of the University of London, retiring in 1944. He was knighted in 1939.
