James Clerk Maxwell |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| One of the greatest scientists of the 1800s, James Clerk Maxwell developed a mathematical theory relating the properties of electric and magnetic fields. Maxwell’s work led him to predict the existence of electromagnetic waves, energy carriers that travel at the speed of light. His ideas also helped lead to some of the major innovations made in physics in the 20th century, including Einstein’s special theory of relativity and quantum theory. | ||||||
