Faraday. Michael

Fahrenheit could not make a thermometer of the same sort, despite repeated attempts. The type of thermometer that he was trying to make used water, open to the atmosphere, as the fluid of expansion. His original thermometers were thus sensitive to air pressure, and acted as both barometers and thermometers at the same time. [Pg.77]

Until the 1970s, the Fahrenheit scale was in common use in all English-speaking countries. Since then, the Celsius scale has been adopted by most countries (not including the United States), see also Temperature. [Pg.77]

FARADAY, MICHAEL (1791-1867). A native of England. Faraday did more to advance the science of electrochemistry than any other scientist. After hearing Sir Humphrey Davy, professor of chemistry, at the Royal Institution speak. Faraday sought a job with Davy as his assistant, and thus his scientific career began in chemistry and electricity. [Pg.603]

Dalton s most significant work was done between 1795 and 1805, but fame came later—when the importance of his atomic theory was realized. He became a member of the Royal Society in 1822, received its first Royal Medal in 1826, and was honored with a state pension in 1833, among other honors. He died on July 27, 1844, and 40,000 people attended his funeral. see also Berzelius, Jons Jakob Faraday, Michael Lavoisier, Antoine Priestley, Joseph. [Pg.2]
