  2. Robert Bunsen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bunsen

    Robert Wilhelm Eberhard Bunsen (German:; 30 March 1811 [a] – 16 August 1899) was a German chemist. He investigated emission spectra of heated elements, and discovered caesium (in 1860) and rubidium (in 1861) with the physicist Gustav Kirchhoff . [ 11 ]

  3. History of spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_spectroscopy

    Spectroscope of Kirchhoff and Bunsen. The systematic attribution of spectra to chemical elements began in the 1860s with the work of German physicists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff, [30] who found that Fraunhofer lines correspond to emission spectral lines observed in laboratory light sources. This laid way for spectrochemical analysis in ...

  4. Davy Medal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Medal

    The medal was first awarded in 1877 to Robert Wilhelm Bunsen and Gustav Robert Kirchhoff "for their researches & discoveries in spectrum analysis", [1] and has since been awarded 140 times. [1] The medal is awarded annually and, unlike other Royal Society medals (such as the Hughes ), has been awarded without interruption since its inception.

  5. The Disappearing Spoon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Disappearing_Spoon

    The author examines Robert Bunsen and his history. Bunsen had passion for arsenic but an explosion left him half-blind for the rest of his life and because of this he created the Bunsen burner. He discusses many people who contributed to the periodic table, including Dmitri Mendeleev, the man accredited for creating the first periodic table ...

  6. Chemistry: A Volatile History - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry:_A_Volatile_History

    Bunsen was joined in his research by Gustav Kirchhoff. Kirchhoff used the concept of the dispersion of white light by a prism in the invention of the spectroscope, a device with a prism at its centre which split the light from Bunsen's flames into distinct bands of its constituent colours – the element's spectral lines.

  7. Discovery and exploration of the Solar System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_exploration...

    Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff further develop the spectroscope, which they used to pioneer the identification of the chemical elements in Earth, and also in the Sun. [32] Around 1862 Father Angelo Secchi developed the heliospectrograph, enabling him to study both the Sun and the stars, and identifying them as things intrinsically of the ...

    One managed care organization mandates such authorization every month. And negotiations, Kalfas said, can take an illogical turn: Medicaid has tried to deny payment for Suboxone if a patient has failed a drug test while it has also used clean tests to deny payment. Why pay for Suboxone for a drug-free patient?

  9. Peter Desaga - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Desaga

    Peter Desaga was a German instrument maker at the University of Heidelberg who worked with Robert Bunsen.Collaborating with Bunsen in 1855 on interior facilities for the new chemical laboratory at the university, Desaga perfected an earlier design of the laboratory burner by Michael Faraday into the Bunsen burner.
