Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

Lord Rayleigh

Lord Rayleigh also known as John William Strutt, was one of the most famous scientist that came from England. He was born on November 12, 1842 in England. While growing up he had bad health which kept him out of school a lot. He went to Trinity College in Cambridge where he started to read mathematics. At first it wasn't his greatest skill but then improved and his skills let him overthrow his competitions. He won the Nobel Prize after finding the gas Argon. Strutt was a physics teacher and his great achievement was finding out how we project sounds. He wrote a book named "The Theory of Sound", which explained how any types of sounds move place to place. He said that sound waves spread everywhere at a certain speed that go through obstacles such as walls or hill... His theory began to make sense that sound waves start as vibrations that explains the vibrating feeling on our atoms apple. This is my summary on Lord Rayleigh and his theory of sound.
