He was the first to accurately measure electricity, in 1850, and described a means of enhancing the efficiency of an induction coil by using a condenser.
He was the first to accurately measure electricity, in 1850, and described a means of enhancing the efficiency of an induction coil by using a condenser. With his most famous collaborator, he worked to improve the daguerreotype method of photography, and discovered that heat rays emanating from the sun underwent interference, and that these rays exhibit wave-like motion. Performing his most famous experiment with a mirror, the accuracy was within one-thousandth of the correct value. FTP, name this physicist who, with Jean- Baptiste Foucault, presaged the Michelson-Morley experiment and made one of the most accurate early measurements of the speed of light with his namesake wheel.
