26 wrz 2023 · One hundred years ago, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Robert Millikan for his work on the elementary charge of electricity and on the photoelectric effect.
The Millikan oil drop experiment, published in final form in 1913, demonstrated that charge comes in discrete chunks and was a bridge between classical electromagnetism and modern quantum physics. See more in Physics.
20 sty 2012 · Robert Millikan’s oil drop experiment provided the first clear measurement of the fundamental electric charge and thus helped cement the notion that nature is “grainy” at the smallest level. The first results came out in 1910, but the seminal work was a 1913 paper in the Physical Review .
One hundred years ago, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Robert Millikan for his work on the elementary charge of electricity and on the photoelectric effect. Although he also...
18 maj 2016 · This month's article takes a look at how Robert A. Millikan's oil-drop experiment led to the measurement of the charge of an electron. A hundred years ago physicist Robert A. Millikan published his paper on the value of Planck's constant (h), which he used to prove Albert Einstein's photoelectric equation.
Robert Andrews Millikan (March 22, 1868 – December 19, 1953) was an American experimental physicist who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1923 for the measurement of the elementary electric charge and for his work on the photoelectric effect.
2 lut 2012 · Their extension to Robert Millikan's celebrated oil-drop experiment has afforded them unprecedented resolution of individual charging events on a solid/liquid interface.
