Extractions: Christiaan Huygens : 1629 - 1693 Christiaan Huygens also spelled Christian Huyghens (b. April 14, 1629, The Hagued. July 8, 1695, The Hague), Dutch mathematician, astronomer, and physicist, who founded the wave theory of light, discovered the true shape of the rings of Saturn, and made original contributions to the science of dynamicsthe study of the action of forces on bodies. Huygens was from a wealthy and distinguished middle-class family. His father, Constantijn Huygens , a diplomat, Latinist, and poet, was the friend and correspondent of many outstanding intellectual figures of the day, including the scientist and philosopher From an early age, Huygens showed a marked mechanical bent and a talent for drawing and mathematics. Some of his early efforts in geometry impressed Descartes , who was an occasional visitor to the Huygens' household. In 1645 Huygens entered the University of Leiden, where he studied mathematics and law. Two years later he entered the College of Breda, in the midst of a furious controversy over the philosophy of Descartes. Although Huygens later rejected certain of the Cartesian tenets including the identification of extension and body, he always affirmed that mechanical explanations were essential in science, a fact that later was to have an important influence on his mathematical interpretation of both light and gravitation.

Extractions: Huygens, Christiaan (16291695) Huygens was born in the Hague, Netherlands. He studied mathematics at the University of Leiden. His family was wealthy enough that Huygens was able to perform his mathematical research without additional support or a salary. He traveled around Europe eventually settling in Paris from 1666 to 1680. Huygens was a follower of Descartes He published his important geometrical results in Theoremata de quadratura hyperboles, ellipses et circuli and De circuli magnitudine inventa Later he considered the subject of probability and published Tractatus de ratiociniis in alea e ludo He tackled the problem that a pendulum clock whose bob swings in a circular arc has a frequency of swing dependent on the amplitude of the swing. The wider the swing, the longer it takes the bob to return to center. This does not happen if the bob can be made to swing in a cycloid. In 1673, Huygens, driven by a need to make accurate determinations of the longitude at sea, designed a pendulum clock whose bob swung in a cycloid. He hung the bob from a fine wire constrained by guards that caused it to draw up as it swung.

Extractions: Dutch physicist and astronomer who discovered Titan , in 1655, and determined that Saturn has rings. He also figured in one of the great unsung moments in planetary exploration when at 7 p.m. on November 28, 1659, he sketched a feature - a dark triangular patch - on the surface of Mars which he had just seen through his modest telescope. Eventually, it came to be known as Syrtis Major , the "Great Marsh", and for many years was presumed to be some kind of watery body. The significance of its sighting lay in the fact that, whereas the large bright and dark areas on the Moon had been visible for all to see from prehistoric times and Galileo had telescopically discovered the Great Red Spot on Jupiter (an atmospheric feature), Syrtis Major was the first permanent marking to be glimpsed on the surface of another planet. Huygens quickly used his discovery to demonstrate that the Martian day - the time it takes Mars to spin once around on its axis - is similar in length to our own.

Extractions: Huygens, Christiaan (1629-1695), astrónomo, matemático y físico holandés nacido en La Haya. Sus numerosos y originales descubrimientos científicos le valieron un amplio reconocimiento entre los científicos del siglo XVII. Entre sus descubrimientos destaca el principio (posteriormente llamado principio de Huygens) que establece que todo punto de un frente de ondas que avanza, actúa como una fuente de nuevas ondas. A partir de este principio, Huygens desarrolló la teoría ondulatoria de la luz. En 1655 encontró un nuevo método para pulir las lentes, con lo que obtuvo una imagen más nítida que le permitió descubrir un satélite de Saturno y dar la primera descripción precisa de los anillos de este planeta. La necesidad de una medida exacta del tiempo en la observación del cielo le llevó a utilizar el péndulo para regular el movimiento de los relojes. En 1656 inventó un ocular de telescopio que lleva su nombre. En su obra Horologium oscillatorium (1673) determinó que realmente existe una relación entre la longitud de un péndulo y el periodo de oscilación, y desarrolló varias teorías sobre la fuerza centrífuga en los movimientos circulares que ayudaron al físico inglés Isaac Newton a formular las leyes de la gravedad. En 1678 descubrió la polarización de la luz mediante la doble refracción en la calcita.

Extractions: Huygens, Christiaan (L'Aia 1629-1695), astronomo, matematico e fisico olandese. Tra le sue scoperte è da ricordare il principio, detto di Huygens, secondo cui ogni punto di una superficie d'onda è esso stesso sorgente di una nuova onda ( Vedi ottica ). Partendo da questo principio egli sviluppò la teoria ondulatoria della luce che, dopo le iniziali critiche da parte degli scienziati che sostenevano la teoria corpuscolare di Newton , fu sostenuta e completata dai fisici Fresnel e Young . Nel 1655 scoprì un metodo di molatura e lucidatura delle lenti e perfezionò gli strumenti ottici che gli permisero di osservare un satellite di Saturno e di fornire la prima accurata descrizione di uno degli anelli di questo pianeta. La necessità di disporre dell'esatta misura del tempo per le osservazioni astronomiche lo condusse a impiegare il pendolo per regolare il movimento degli orologi . Nel 1656 costruì un cannocchiale ( Vedi Telescopio ) che porta il suo nome. Nella sua opera Horologium Oscillatorium (1673) determinò l'effettivo rapporto esistente tra la lunghezza del pendolo e il tempo di oscillazione e sviluppò le teorie sulla forza centrifuga nel moto circolare, che portò il fisico britannico Isaac Newton all'enunciazione della legge di gravitazione universale.

Extractions: HUTCHINSON ENCYCLOPEDIA Huygens, Christiaan Dutch mathematical physicist and astronomer. He proposed the wave theory of light, developed the pendulum clock in 1657, discovered polarization, and observed Saturn's rings. He made important advances in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and mechanics, which he virtually founded. His work in astronomy was an impressive defence of the Copernican view of the Solar System. HASH(0xa2f22dc) Huygens also studied centrifugal force and showed, in 1659, its similarity to gravitational force, although he lacked the Newtonian concept of acceleration. He considered projectiles and gravity, developing the mathematically primitive ideas of Galileo . He found an accurate experimental value for the distance covered by a falling body in one second. In fact, his gravitational theories successfully deal with several difficult points that Newton carefully avoided. In the 1670s, Huygens studied motion in resisting media, becoming convinced by experiment that the resistance in such media as air is proportional to the square of the velocity.
