Gustav Kirchhoff
|
His/Her biography
|
Gustav Robert Kirchhoff is a German physicist who contributed to
understanding the basic concepts of the theory of electric circuits,
spectroscopy, and the emission of black body radiation produced by heated
objects. He coined the term "black body" radiation in 1862.
Kirchhoff's Laws are: A hot solid, liquid or gas, under high
pressure, gives off a continuous spectrum. A hot gas under low pressure
produces a bright-line or emission line spectrum. A dark line or absorption
line spectrum is seen when a source of a continuous spectrum is viewed behind
a cool gas under pressure.

Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan
Muawiya ibn Abu Sufyan was the founder of the Umayyad dynasty of

As son of Abu Sufyan, one of the leaders of the Meccan opposition
to Mohammed, Muawiya did not adopt Islam until the conquest of Mecca in 630.
Muawiya at this time was made secretary to the Prophet, but it was as a
warrior in the army sent by the caliph Abu Bakr to conquer Syria that Muawiya
first distinguished himself in the Moslem community.
