Sir William Ramsay KCB FRS FRSE (/ ˈ r æ m z i /; 2 October 1852 – 23 July 1916) was a Scottish chemist who discovered the noble gases and received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1904 "in recognition of his services in the discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air" along with his collaborator, John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics that same ...
William Ramsay joined this research topic, and in August they discovered argon. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Around 1900 Rayleigh developed the duplex (combination of two) theory of human sound localisation using two binaural cues , interaural phase difference (IPD) and interaural level difference (ILD) (based on analysis of a spherical head with no external ...
Rayleigh and Ramsay received the 1904 Nobel Prizes in Physics and in Chemistry, respectively, for their discovery of the noble gases; [14] [15] in the words of J. E. Cederblom, then president of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, "the discovery of an entirely new group of elements, of which no single representative had been known with any ...
The pronunciation is definitely "ray-lee"; this is how all historians of science and biographers pronounce the name. But why so little on his revolutionary discovery (joint with Ramsay) of the first noble gas, argon? The discovery had enormous implications for both physics and chemistry.Ajrocke 17:51, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Argon was first isolated from air in 1894 by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay at University College London by removing oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen from a sample of clean air. [19] They first accomplished this by replicating an experiment of Henry Cavendish 's.
