Shortly after J.J. Thomson discovered the electron, this scientist performed a similar experiment on positively-charged canal rays, separating particles by their charge-mass ratio in a primitive mass spectrometry.
After incorrectly positing that mass was equivalent to electromagnetic mass, this physicist borrowed an earlier formula and proposed that E equals three-fourths m c-squared. This man derived Newton's laws from Maxwell's equations in a paper putting forth an "Electromagnetic Foundation of Mechanics." Shortly after J.J. Thomson discovered the electron, this scientist performed a similar experiment on positively-charged canal rays, separating particles by their charge-mass ratio in a primitive mass spectrometry. One of this man's laws states that his namesake constant b, expressed in units of (*) meter-Kelvins, gives the location of the maximum specific intensity times the temperature of a certain object. Max Planck combined one of this man's approximations with the Rayleigh-Jeans law to resolve the ultraviolet catastrophe. For 10 points, name this German physicist, whose namesake displacement law describes the peak wavelength of light radiated by a blackbody at a given temperature.
