FIVE INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIST & DISCOVERIES

Samuel Colt

Samuel Colt was born at Hartford in 1814 and died there in 1862 at the age of forty-eight, leaving behind him a famous name
and a colossal industry of his own creation. His father was a small manufacturer of silk and woolens at Hartford, and the boy
entered the factory at a very early age. At school in Amherst a little later, Samuel Colt fell under the displeasure of his
teachers. At thirteen he took to sea, as a boy before the mast, on the East India voyage to Calcutta. He invented the revolver.

Charles Babbage

Charles Babbage (1791-1871) designed one of the first automatic calculation machines called the
difference engine or analytical. However, he did not build it actually and only theorized its mechanism,
which was later verified by building of a working model.he invented the computer.
Thomas Edison

The person who invented the light bulb wasn'tThomas Edison but he was the one who improved the
technology to the greatest extent. The story of who invented the light bulb is a long one. In my
research, I found about 22 inventors who have contributed to the development of the incandescent light
bulb.

Benjamin Franklin

In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have first proved conclusively that lightning was
indeed electricity, through some kite experiments. Electricity, an effect of the electromagnetic force, is
the flow of charged particles (electrons) through conductive materials. Electricity like water, flows from
a higher electrical potential to a lower electrical potential. Almost every form of technology is made
possible due to electricity and it is an integral part of biological life on Earth. From the beating of our
hearts, to the working of our brains and muscles, everything is made possible due to electric currents!
Sir Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton's Discoveries in Mechanics

Isaac Newton's laws of motion defined the concept of inertia and force. They also revealed the nature of a
force. Newton's three laws of motion are as follows:

 Newton's Law of Inertia: Every object stays in its state of rest or uniform motion, unless disturbed
by an external force.
 Newton's Force Law: The force acting on a body is defined as the rate of change of its linear
momentum, with time.
 Newton's Action-Reaction Law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
FIVE INDIAN SCIENTIST & THEIR DISCOVERIES

Srinivasa Ramanujan

Srīnivāsa Aiyangār Rāmānujan FRS, better known as Srinivasa Iyengar Ramanujan   

pronunciation (help·info) (Tamil: சீனிவாச இராமானுஜன் or ஸ்ரீனிவாஸ ஐயங்கார் ராமானுஜன்)
(22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician andautodidact who, with almost no
formal training inpure mathematics, made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number
theory, infinite series and continued fractions.

.  C. V. Raman

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, FRS(Tamil: சந்திரசேகர வெங்கடராமன்) (7 November

1888 – 21 November 1970) was anIndian physicist whose work was influential in the growth of science in
the world. He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when light
traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength. This
phenomenon is now called Raman scattering and is the result of the Raman effect.

Homi j. Bhabha

Homi Jehangir Bhabha, FRS (30 October 1909 – 24 January 1966) was

an Indian nuclear physicist who played a major role in the development of the Indian atomic
energy program and is considered to be the father of India's nuclear
program.World War II broke out in September 1939 while Bhabha was vacationing in India. He
chose to remain in India until the war ended. In the meantime, he accepted a position at
the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, headed
by Nobel laureate C. V. Raman. He established the Cosmic Ray Research Unit at the institute,
and began to work on the theory of the
movement ofpoint particles.

Vikram Sarabhai

Vikram ambalal Sarabhai was born on 12 August 1919 in the city of Ahmedabad , Gujarat State in
western India. The Sarabhai family was an important and rich Jain business family. His
fatherAmbalal Sarabhai was an affluent industrialist and owned many mills in Gujarat. Vikram
Sarabhai was one of the eight children of Ambalal and Sarla Devi.

Satyendra Nath Bose

Satyendra Nath Bose (Bengali: সত্যেন্দ্র নাথ বসুShottendronath Boshū, IPA: [ʃot̪ ːend̪ronat̪ ʰ boʃu]; 1

January
1894 – 4 February 1974), FRS, was aBengali mathematician and physicist noted for his collaboration
with Albert Einstein in developing a theory regarding the gaslike qualities ofelectromagnetic radiation
. He is best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s, providing the foundation
for Bose–Einstein statistics and the theory of the Bose–Einstein condensate. He is honoured as the
namesake of the boson.[1] He was awarded India's second highest civilian
award, the Padma Vibhushan in 1954 by the Government of India.[2]
