John William Strutt was the 3rd Baron Rayleigh.
The Rayleigh title was originally given to his grandmother, Charlotte, on her husband's suggestion because Joseph Holden Strutt had declined personal honours throughout his life, and perhaps didn't wish to be raised to the peerage as he should have to resign as an MP.
Rayleigh's son and biographer, Robert John, succeeded to the title in 1919 and continued in his father's footsteps being a Fellow of the Royal Society and professor of physics.

 John William (Lord Rayleigh) Strutt Biography | World of Scientific Discovery
Strutt, better known as Lord Rayleigh, took his degree from Cambridge University in mathematics, but his scientific career, which he pursued almost until his dying day, extended into the fields of physics and chemistry.
Although Rayleigh was content to work at his home, he accepted the position of Cavendish Professor at Cambridge University, due to the fact that revenue from his estate had declined as the result of a general agricultural depression.
One of the curiosities Rayleigh had noted earlier was that nitrogen derived from air was always slightly heavier than nitrogen extracted from chemical compounds, whereas oxygen always had exactly the same density.

 Combustion-Driven Oscillation in Process Heaters
Rayleigh recognized the crucial phase relationship between the communication of heat and the vibration in the resonator.
The damping is represented by β, ω is the circular frequency, S is the length of the fuel supply line, C is the speed of sound in the supplied gas and τ is the burning delay time.
The wavelength of the standing wave in the supply pipe (λ) is determined by dividing the speed of sound in the supplied gas by the frequency of pulsation in the combustion chamber.

There you have it - the sky is blue is because of Rayleigh Scattering by the nitrogen and oxygen molecules in the atmosphere.
