James Maxwell. Coloured portrait of James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879),Scottish physicist. Maxwell graduated in mathematics and applied his knowledge to various physical problems. In 1864 he formulat- ed Maxwell's equations,which joined together the different phenomena of electricity and magnetism into a new electromagnetic theory. He also worked out,independently of Boltzmann,the Maxwell- Boltzmann distribution of velocities for the molecules of a gas,which shows how they depend on the gases temperature. In 1857 he established theoretically the nature of the rings of the planet Saturn,a result later confirmed by Keeler. Maxwell demonstrated colour photography in 1861 | |
