Although mathematical theory is central to aU acoustics, the two major divisions, physical and applied acoustics, evolved from the central theoretical core. In the late nineteenth century, Hermann von Helmholtz and Lord Rayleigh (John William Strutt), two polymaths, developed the theoretical aspects. Helmholtz s contributions to acoustics were primarily in explaining the physiological aspects of the ear. Rayleigh, a well-educated wealthy English baron, synthesized virtually all previous knowledge of acoustics and also formulated an appreciable corpus of experiment and theory.

John William Strutt, the third Lord Rayleigh, was born at Terling on November 12,1842. His ability for clear thinking and self-expression was evident in his student days, and when he was Senior Wrangler in the Tripos in 1865, one of his examiners remarked, Strutt s papers were so good that they could have been sent straight to press without revision (41).

Birth of John William Strutt, Lord Rayleigh, at Terling, England. 

Helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and the radioactive element radon make up a most unusual group of non-metals, called the noble gases. They were all discovered after Mendeleev had published his periodic table. They were discovered between 1894 and 1900, mainly through the work of the British scientists Sir William Ramsay (Figure 9.16a) and Lord John William Strutt Rayleigh (Figure 9.16b). 

Argon was discovered in 1894 by English chemist John William Strutt, most commonly known as Lord Rayleigh (1842-1919), and Scottish chemist William Ramsay (1852-1916). It was the first of the noble gases to be isolated. 

John William Strutt, Third Baron of Rayleigh (1842-1919) set up his own physical laboratory at his family seat, Terling Place in Essex, England. In 430 scientific publications he dealt with problems from all areas of classical physics, in particular acoustics, for which he wrote his famous work, The Theory of Sound (1877/78). Together with W. Ramsey he discovered the element Argon (1892-95), for which he was awarded the Nobel prize for Physics in 1904. The chemist W. Ramsey was awarded the Nobel prize for Chemistry in the same year. 

The German physicist Wilhelm Wien had proposed such an equation, which worked well only for high frequencies, and Lord Rayleigh (bom John William Stmtt) proposed another equation, which worked well only at low frequencies. In 1900 Planck was able to develop a single expression that combined these two earfier equations and accurately predicted the energy over the entire range of frequencies. 

John William Strutt was born at Langford Grove in Essex, England, and was the first child of John James Strutt, the second Baron Rayleigh. In 1861 Strutt ventured to Cambridge University where he studied at Trinity College, the...
