For 10 points, name this scientist who also co-discovered rapid oscillations of electrons in plasmas, his namesake "waves."
This man's work with nitrogen-filled incandescent light bulbs led to coiling the filaments to slow blackening, and he gives his name to the small boundary layer around the filament in which conductive dominates convective heat transfer. This man co-names a model for the rate of reaction on a catalyst in which all reactants adsorb onto surface sites before reacting, and he sometimes partially names a mechanism in which one molecule reacts while still in the gas phase. A related equation he derived can be used in situations where the Freundlich one does not apply, his namesake adsorption isotherm.
