Gravitation
1. Gravitation is a natural phenomenon by which physical bodies attract with a force proportional to their mass. In everyday life, gravitation is most familiar as the agent that gives weight to objects with mass and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped. Gravitation causes dispersed matter to coalesce, and coalesced matter to remain intact, thus accounting for the existence of the Earth, the Sun, and most of the macroscopic objects in the universe.
2. Gravitation is responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun; for keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth; for the formation of tides; for natural convection, by which fluid flow occurs under the influence of a density gradient and gravity; for heating the interiors of forming stars and planets to very high temperatures; and for various other phenomena observed on the Earth.
3. Gravitation is one of the four fundamental interactions of nature, along with electromagnetism, and the nuclear strong force and weak force. Modern physics describes gravitation using the general theory of relativity by Einstein, in which it is a consequence of the curvature of spacetime governing the motion of inertial objects. The simpler Newton's law of universal gravitation provides an accurate approximation for most physical situations.

Born in Edinburgh, the physicist James Clerk Maxwell has been described as the most brilliant scientist of the 1800s. His best-known work established a link between electromagnetism and light. This research later helped the German physicist Heinrich Hertz to build the first radio-wave transmitter. During his carrier, Maxwell produced new theories on many scientific problems of the day: the physical properties of gases; the nature of the planet Saturn’s rings; how humans perceive colors.

The Italian scientist Luigi Galvani spent much of his life studying electricity. He found out that a dead frog’s legs contract when they are attached to an iron board by brass hooks. He suspected that there was electricity in the frog’s muscles, which he named animal electricity. Another Italian scientist, Alessandro Volta, challenged this idea. He believed that the two metals had reacted together to make the electricity. Neither theory was entirely correct. Galvani also carried out experiments with electric charges. An instrument for measuring electric current is called a galvanometer in his honor.

Rays of light like all forms of energy that travel in waves can be reflected. Light rays are reflected. Light rays are reflected when they hit a shiny or silvered surface, such as a still pool of water or a mirror. Reflection involves two light rays and the reflected, or outgoing, ray, which bounces off the reflecting surface. The two rays are at identical angles to the reflecting surface on either side of an imaginary line.

The discovery of X-rays in 1895 by the Prussian physicist Wilhelm Rontgen saw the beginning of a new age of physics. Thinking that the rays were unrelated to light and being uncertain of their nature, he called them X-rays. Rontgen discovered that when X-rays were directed through the body of a living person, the bones cast shadows on a photographic plate placed behind the body. X-rays are now also used in concentrated doses to treat cancer. Rontgen was the first person to be awarded the Nobel Prize for physics, which he received in 1901. The name Rontgen is now given to a unit of radiation, either X-rays or gamma rays.
