Considered by many to be the father of modern physics because of his willingness to replace old assumptions in favor of new sccientifically deduced theories. He is famouse for his celestial theories, and his works on machanics paved the way for Newton.
-
Brahe's data allowed Kepler to his theory of elliptical planetary motion and provide evidence for the copernican system. in addition, Kepler writes a quqalitative description of gravitation.
-
Developes the laws of machanics (now called clasical machanics) which explains object motion in a mathmatical fashion.
-
Developes the wave theory of light and describes light interference.
-
Creates the lectric motor, and developes an understanding of electromagnetic induction, which provides evidence that electricity magnetism are related. In addition, he discovers electrolysis and describes the conservation of energy law.
-
His research on electromagnetic induction id performed at the time as Faraday's. He constructs his first motor, his work with electromagnets leads directly to the development of the telegraph.
-
Performs important research in three areas: colore vision, molecular theory, and electromagnetic theory. The ideas underlying Maxwell's theories of electromagnetism describes the propagation of lighe wavesin a vacuum.
-
Developess a theory of the electron and estmates its mass.
-
Discovers Xrays
-
Seperate Radioactive elements.
