Niels Henrick David Bohr was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on 1885. In 1911 he received his Ph.D. from Copenhagen University. Later on he moved to England to study under J.J. Thomson in Cambridge and under Ernest Rutherford in Manchester. In 1913 he published his model of the atom, which was based on Rutherford’s planetary model. After his publication of his model he received worldwide fame. Unfortunately, Bohr’s model worked only for hydrogen atoms. Which made the final atomic model yet to be…

De Broglie’s Hypothesis After Einstein put forth his photoelectric effect, people wondered what about the instances where light behaved as a wave? In 1923, the French physicist Louis de Broglie made an assertion. His Consideration of Einstein's equation of wavelength lambda to momentum p, de Broglie said that the relationship determines the wavelength, in the relationship: λ = h / p Where h is the Planck's constant This wavelength λ is called the de Broglie wavelength.…

CHAPTER 1 PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND This chapter includes the introduction, theoretical framework, conceptual framework, statement of the problem, hypothesis, scope and limitation, significance of the study and the definition of terms used. Introduction Theoretical Framework This study is anchored from the concept of Social Cognitive Theory, presented by Bandura (1977) in which the idea of self-efficacy plays a central role in facing the changes caused by fearful situations and Self-…

Piezoelectricity was discovered in1880 by Pierre and Jacques Curie, However the term piezoelectricity was coined by W.G. Henkel in 1881.G.Lippman discovered reverse process that is to say on application of electric field mechanical stresses could be developed in 1880 .Which was experimentally proven by curie brothers in 1881. Piezoelectric materials can be natural or synthetic. Natural occurring crystals include quartz, topaz, silk, wood etc. While as synthetic are quartz like, ceramic polymers…

WERNHER VON BRAUN Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun, the father of modern rocketry and one of the most important outer space engineers of the 20th century, was born on 23th of March 1912 in Wirsitz (Wyrzysk)(today in Poland). He was a child of a wealthy family from Germany. With their second son, Wernher, Magnus von Braun and Emmy von Quistorp moved to Berlin in 1915.

After his graduation he went onto a 2-year program at the Philosophical Institute at Olmutz University. Around 1854, Mendel began to research the transmission of hereditary traits in plant hybrids. At the time of Mendel’s studies, it was a generally accepted…

Albert Vinicio Báez (/ˈbaɪ.ɛz/; November 15, 1912 – March 20, 2007) was a prominent Mexican-American physicist, and the father of singers Joan Baez and Mimi Fariña. He was born in Puebla, Mexico, and his family moved to the United States when he was two years old because his father was a Methodist minister. Baez grew up in Brooklyn and considered becoming a minister before turning to mathematics and physics. He made important contributions to the early development of X-ray microscopes and later…

several men who conquered many obstacles who can be looked at role models. Albert Einstein was a remarkable man who became a genius with little education in the early years of his life. Overcoming the hate tried towards him, Jesse Owens became an Olympic gold medalist. Although Owens overcame the racial discrimination, Einstein is a better role model because of while widely his discoveries have helped scientist today. Albert Einstein was a remarkable man who never gave up when confronting a…

The mathematician that i pick was Albert Einstein March 14, 1879- April 18, 1955 . He was a very smart and intelligent man who had many great ideas that has had an impact on the world today. The reason i picked him is because although he had a slight disability, he was still very successful in life and was one of the most known people from the past.
