	August Adolph Eduard Eberhard Kundt - LoveToKnow 1911
		AUGUST ADOLPH EDUARD EBERHARD KUNDT (1839-1894), German physicist, was born at Schwerin in Mecklenburg on the,8th of November 1839.
		As an original worker Kundt was especially successful in the domains of sound and light.
		In light Kundt's name is widely known for his inquiries in anomalous dispersion, not only in liquids and vapours, but even in metals, which he obtained in very thin films by means of a laborious process of electrolytic deposition upon platinized glass.

	August Kundt
		Kundt studied at the University of Leipzig but afterward went to the University of Berlin.
		In 1867 he became an instructor at Berlin, and in the following year he became professor of physics at the Zürich Polytechnic.
		In his experiments on sound, Kundt dusted the interior of a tube with a finely divided powder to show the position of the nodes of the sound waves, thereby determining their wavelength.

	Kundt, August Adolph
		German physicist who in 1866 invented Kundt's tube, a simple device for measuring the velocity of sound in gases and solids.
		Kundt was born in Schwerin, Mecklenburg, and educated at Leipzig and Berlin.
		Kundt's tube is a glass tube containing some dry powder and closed at one end.

	August Kundt Summary
		Kundt may be best known for his work on air vibrations and standing waves.
		In 1866 he invented the "Kundt's tube," a glass tube in which dust is shown to collect at the nodes of standing waves, enabling the measurement of sound velocity in gases and solids.
		Today, his work is being used in the field of acoustic levitation, where sound waves are used to suspend droplets or small solid objects in ovens for more even heating.

		GMR, TMR, and interlayer coupling all involve the transfer of spin-polarized electrons from one ferromagnetic layer across an interface to another, and studies of such processes are giving rise to whole new fields of study, including spin electronics and magnetoelectronics.
		Kundt fabricated thin films of iron, cobalt, and nickel, and was able to measure the rotation in the polarization of light transmitted through these films in a direction parallel to the film magnetization.
		The same kind of polarization rotation, now called the Faraday effect, was observed in 1845 by Michael Faraday, using a glass specimen in a magnetic field.

		The new approach is described in Proposition I, Theorem I of the Principia, and constitutes the cornerstone for the geometric methods in the book.
		Rather than being a plodding experimentalist whose only significant work was in 1895 Roentgen emerged as a meticulous "measurement physicist" whose career built steadily--not an insignificant achievement given the conditions in German academia in the late nineteenth century.
		He trained under August Kundt, and worked on specific heats and other phenomena that seemed to offer insights into the structure of matter through the careful measurement of the physical properties of specific heats of gases, elasticity and heat conduction in solids.

	Emil Fischer - Biography
		His father was a successful business man. After three years with a private tutor, Emil went to the local school and then spent two years at school at Wetzlar, and two more at Bonn where he passed his final examination in 1869 with great distinction.
		There he attended the lectures of Kekulé, Engelbach and Zincke, and also those of August Kundt on physics, and of Paul Groth on mineralogy.
		In 1872, however, Emil, who still wished to study physics, was persuaded by his cousin Otto Fischer, to go with him to the newly established University of Strasbourg, where Professor Rose was working on the Bunsen method of analysis.

		Marey (who had earlier invented a sphygmograph, a device that measured the pulse by tracing a zigzag line) believed in the superiority of visual presentations over words.
		There he got a diploma in mechanical engineering and became the protege of the physicist August Kundt, who supervised Roentgen's Ph.D. in experimental physics and took him to Wurzburg as his assistant.
		In Switzerland Roentgen met two of the people who would most influence his life: Anna Bertha Ludwig, whom he married, and Ludwig Zehnder, a fellow student who was something of a dreamer and against whose character and imagination Roentgen would define himself in letters and discussions for most of his life.

	Rubens' Tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If a constant frequency is used, it is possible to determine the wavelength by simply measuring with a ruler.
		August Kundt, in 1866, demonstrated an acoustical standing wave by placing seeds of lycopodium or cork dust in a tube.
		When a sound was made in the tube, the material inside lined up in nodes and antinodes in line with the oscillation of the wave, creating a standing wave.

		This went well but when he spent the summer of 1878 working in August Kundt's physics laboratory in Strassburg he found that the experimental work was not to his liking.
		He changed to study pure mathematics from the autumn of 1878 and worked with on this topic for two years.
		He completed his doctoral studies after eight years of study and many changes of direction, and received his doctorate in 1886 from the Georg- August- Universität Göttingen for his thesis Über die Reduction hyperelliptischer Integrale erster Ordnung und erster Gattung auf elliptische, insbesondere über die Reduction durch eine Transformation vierten Grades.
