Meghnad Saha FRS (6 October 1893 – 16 February 1956) was an Indian astrophysicist who helped devise the theory of thermal ionisation. His Saha ionisation equation allowed astronomers to accurately relate the spectral classes of stars to their actual temperatures.
Meghnad Saha (6 de octubre de 1893 – 16 de febrero de 1956) fue un astrofísico de la India, [1] [2] famoso por su desarrollo de la ecuación de Saha, que permite describir las condiciones químicas y físicas en las estrellas.
5 de abr. de 2024 · Meghnad N. Saha was an Indian astrophysicist noted for his development in 1920 of the thermal ionization equation, which, in the form perfected by the British astrophysicist Edward A. Milne, has remained fundamental in all work on stellar atmospheres.
1 de ago. de 2016 · Meghnad Saha (1893–1956) was an Indian physicist who did much of his work in the last decades of British colonial rule. In the 1920s he made important contributions to the theory of thermal ionization and its application to stellar spectra.
Saha is justly regarded as one of the founders of theoretical astrophysics. Examination of his life and work is a rewarding exercise from various points of view: development of modern astronomy; Western science and the non-West; and political and social activism of a leading scientist and educator.
This biography is a short yet comprehensive overview of the life of Meghnad Saha, the mastermind behind the frequently used Saha equations and a strong contributor to the foundation of science in India.
