This scientist's insistance on accuracy led him to standardize the ohm, ampere, and volt.
This scientist's insistance on accuracy led him to standardize the ohm, ampere, and volt. Author of the standard treatise The Theory of Sound, he developed his namesake criterion for resolving power while making the first accurate definition of the resolving power of diffraction gratings, and with William Ramsey discovered argon, but is best-known for a type of elastic scattering named for him. FTP, name this 1904 Physics Nobel Prize winner who explained that scattering of light by dust particles makes the sky blue.
