Everything about Hippolyte Fizeau totally explained
Armand Hippolyte Louis Fizeau (
September 23,
1819-
1896),
French physicist, was born in
Paris. His earliest work was concerned with improvements in photographic processes. Later, in association with
J. B. L. Foucault, he engaged in a series of investigations on the
interference of light and heat. In
1848, he predicted the
redshifting of
electromagnetic waves. In
1849 he published the first results obtained by his method for determining the
speed of light (see
Fizeau-Foucault apparatus), and in
1850 with E. Gounelle measured the speed of
electricity.
In
1853 he described the use of the
capacitor (then called the
condenser) as a means to increase the efficiency of the induction
coil. Subsequently he studied the
thermal expansion of
solids, and applied the phenomenon of interference of light to the measurement of the dilatations of
crystals. He became a member of the
Académie française in
1860 and of the
Bureau des Longitudes in
1878. He died at
Venteuil September 18,
1896.
