Paris, April 21, 1774, d. Paris, February 3, 1862] Biot was a physicist whose main discoveries affected astronomy, earth science, and chemistry. His 1803 report on a meteorite fall convinced scientists for the first time that rocks fall from the sky. His balloon flights with Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac established that Earth's magnetic field extends into the atmosphere. In 1815 Biot showed that some organic compounds have two chemically identical forms that rotate polarized light in different directions, correctly speculating that the effect is caused by differences in the shape of the molecules. Encyclopedia Biot, Jean Baptiste zh¤N b¤tÄst byÅ ) , 1774â1862, French physicist, grad. cole Polytechnique (1797). He taught mathematics at Beauvais before becoming (1800) professor of mathematical physics at the Coll¨ge de France and later (1809â49) of astronomy at the Sorbonne. With French physicist Fran§ois Arago , Biot measured properties of gases, and with French physicist Felix Savart, he formulated a law for the magnetic force near a wire carrying an electric current. He discovered that when light passes through some substances, including sugar solutions, the plane of polarization of the light is rotated by an amount that depends on the color of the light.

Extractions: Savart's Cup and Resonator Felix Savart (1791-1841) is probably best known for his 1820 investigation (with Biot) of the strength of a magnetic field as a function of the geometry of a wire and the current through it. But, most of his research dealt with acoustics, including the first explanation of the operation of a violin. The edge of the cup or bell of Savart's apparatus is set into oscillation with a violin bow to produce a sound of definite pitch. The sliding piston of the resonator is then moved in and out to give the maximum amplitude of sound. Note that the relatively large diameter of the resonator gives large end corrections; the wavelength of the resonant wavelength is larger than four times the interior depth. The Union apparatus is by the Paris firm of Lerebours et Secretan, and is listed at 400 francs in the 1853 catalogue. Amherst College Colby College

CMH - Work With Saunders Saunders s reference to the important work of felix savart in a letter has alreadybeen noted, and he gave her other advice as well. http://www.catgutacoustical.org/PEOPLE/cmh/laird3.html
Extractions: Work With Saunders In 1949, the same year that Hutchins began her study as a luthier, Helen Rice introduced her to Frederick A. Saunders (1875-1963), a retired Harvard physicist who had been conducting research on violin acoustics since the early 1930s. Best known for the Russell-Saunders coupling (a principle of atomic spectroscopy), Saunders had been chair of the physics department at Harvard, a fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, and one-time president of the Acoustical Society of America. An amateur violinist and violist, he tried her viola and said that he would look forward to seeing her next one. At that point, Hutchins insists, she had no intention of making another. After speaking with Saunders and reading some of his articles, Hutchins realized how she could help him: [FN 14] ...the only thing he'd ever been able to do was to work with musicians who came with the instruments as they were. He didn't dare change anything except to maybe take a little bit of wax and put a penny, or a little bit of weight on the bridge... What Hutchins offered was to build instruments on which Saunders could make actual changes, like the position and size of the f-holes or height of the ribs. Evidence of this joint work is found in the many surviving letters from Saunders to Hutchins.

Extractions: Catgut Acoustical Society Groundwork in the scientific investigation of the violin was laid by such men as Marin Mersenne (1636), Ernst Chladni (1802), Felix Savart (1819) and Hermann L. F. Helmholtz (1880). Savart, who can rightly be considered the grandfather of violin research, used many ingenious devices to explore the vibrational characteristics of the violin. But he was unable to gain sufficient knowledge of its complicated resonances to apply his ideas successfully to development and construction of new instruments. Recent research that has led to our new fiddle family is largely the work of Hermann Backhaus, Herman Meinel, Gioacchino Pasqualini, Ernst Rohloff, Werner Lottermoser and Frieder Eggers in Europe and of the late Frederick A. Saunders, John C. Schelleng, William Harvey Fletcher and myself in the United States. Among other accomplishments of our Catgut Acoustical Society is a concert played at Harvard last summer during the meeting of the Acoustical Society of America. It was dedicated to Saunders and the instruments were our eight new fiddles, which are the outgrowth of research he began. I write about the concert and about the instruments as a member of the society and as one who worked with Saunders from 1948 until his death in 1963. My activities include reconciliation of the wisdom of experienced musicians and violin makers, coordination of much technical information from widely separated sources, and design, construction and testing of experimental instruments. In 1937 Saunders reported

Extractions: Sources of Magnetic Field In keeping with our previous statement about the association of charges acted upon by fields and the fields produced by those charges, it is only natural to think that, once it is established that magnetic fields act on moving electric charges, then moving electric charges should create magnetic fields. In fact, experiment shows just such a relationship! The symmetry inherent in nature between fields and charges is therefore upheld. We find that a single moving point charge q which has constant velocity v in a vacuum produces a magnetic field m p /C p So, if m is a constant of nature, why is it defined rather than measured as other constants have been? The reason lies in what was historically recognized as a curious relationship between the permittivity and the permeability of free space. Namely, their product is the inverse of the square of the speed of light, i.e.

Extractions: Leo Graetz (1856-1941) Leo Graetz was a German Physicist born at Breslau, Germany on September 26, 1856. He studied Mathematics and Physics at Breslau, Berlin and Strassburg. In 1881, he became the assistant to A. Kundt at Strassburg and in 1883 he went to the University of Munchen where he became a Professor in 1908 and occupied the Second Chair for Physics parallel to Roentgen. His scientific work was first concerned with the fields of heat conduction, radiation, friction and elasticity. After 1890, his work forcused upon problems of electromagnetic waves and cathode rays. Graetz was a prolific technical writer as evidenced by his twenty-three editions of book Electricity and Its Applications and a five volume work Handbook of Electricity and Magnetism. These works contributed to the wide dissemination of knowledge in electricity which, at their time of printing, was still in its infancy. He died in Munchen on November 12, 1941, at age 85.

Stradivarius violins are among the most sought-after musical instruments in the world. But is there a secret that makes a Stradivarius sound so good, and can modern violins match the wonderful tonal quality of this great Italian instrument? Is there really a lost secret that sets Stradivarius violins apart from the best instruments made today? After more than a hundred years of vigorous debate, this question remains highly contentious, provoking strongly held but divergent views among players, violin makers and scientists alike. All of the greatest violinists of modern times certainly believe it to be true, and invariably perform on violins by Stradivari or Guarneri in preference to modern instruments. The violin is the most highly developed and most sophisticated of all stringed instruments. It emerged in Northern Italy in about 1550, in a form that has remained essentially unchanged ever since. The famous Cremonese violin-making families of Amati, Stradivari and Guarneri formed a continuous line of succession that flourished from about 1600 to 1750, with skills being handed down from father to son and from master to apprentice. The popular belief is that their unsurpassed skills, together with the magical Stradivarius secret, were lost by the start of the 19th century.
Extractions: November 1999 Physics in Action: November 1999 When a vertical jet of water from a tap or faucet hits the bottom of a sink, the water spreads out in a thin sheet. At a certain distance from the point where the water hits the sink, however, there is a sharp step. Beyond this step, the flow is thick and slow. This is a classical example of a shock in shallow water. Such shocks were first studied by the French physicist Felix Savart as long ago as 1833, and are still an active area of research. The wetting and dewetting of surfaces is important in many real-world applications. Examples include four-colour offset printing, road safety (hydroplaning is related to viscous dewetting) and agriculture. When a plant is sprayed with fungicide, for example, there is a tendency for the solution to form droplets on the leaves rather than completely wet them. This dewetting can be blocked by suitable additives in the fungicide solution. Phys. Rev. Lett

Extractions: Science and the Stradivarius Is there really a lost secret that sets Stradivarius violins apart from the best instruments made today? After more than a hundred years of vigorous debate, this question remains highly contentious, provoking strongly held but divergent views among players, violin makers and scientists alike. All of the greatest violinists of modern times certainly believe it to be true, and invariably perform on violins by Stradivari or Guarneri in preference to modern instruments. Violins by the great Italian makers are, of course, beautiful works of art in their own right, and are coveted by collectors as well as players. Particularly outstanding violins have reputedly changed hands for over a million pounds. In contrast, fine modern instruments typically cost about £10 000, while factory-made violins for beginners can be bought for under £100. Do such prices really reflect such large differences in quality?
J. Eggers: Drops of sizes had already been recognised 200 years ago by felix savart in Paris . It is the periodicity of the process savart uses to obtain a time http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/alumni/drops.html
Extractions: Skip subnavigation Home History News ... Home / Alumni Drop formation The ubiquity of drops is beautifully illustrated by this picture of a dolphin, jumping out of the water of the New England aquarium in Boston - the spontaneous formation of drops is a generic feature of flows involving free surfaces. Harald Edgerton's photograph also gives an idea of the challenges involved in the description of free surface flows. The description of the flow shown in the picture would be far beyond the computational capabilities of present day computers. (and it is unlikely that this statement will have to be revised any time soon !) Instead, it is much more fruitful to focus on the individual events of drop separation, which form the essential building-blocks of the flow dynamics. Perhaps it is possible to gain some general insight into the dynamics of drop formation, independent of the particular circumstance under which the drop is formed, or of the type of fluid involved. It is the periodicity of the process Savart uses to obtain a time resolution that is far beyond that if his naked eye. Using an especially constructed apparatus, he observed the jet against the background of a moving tape, painted alternately black and white. This amounts to a periodic illumination of the jet, yielding a stationary picture, if its frequency corresponds to the frequency at which drops are formed.
