Here we got some 7 fascinating facts about Galileo Galilei. So let's start:- 



Intro:-


Galileo Galilei (February 15, 1564- January 8, 1642) was an Italian scientist who was instrumental in the scientific revolution of his day. His most notable achievements include advancements in telescope design, which led to his greater body of work supporting the theories of Copernicanism.


Fact 1:-

Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy," the "father of modern physics," the "father of science," and "the father of modern science."


Fact 2:-

Some of Galileo's chief contributions to applied science was in the improvements to telescope technology, along with better military compasses and other scientific tools.




Fact 3:-

Galileo's work with more advanced telescopic properties allowed him to discover the phases of Venus, four of Jupiter's moons, and sunspots.


Fact 4:-

He was a very controversial figure in his day for his work in the heliocentric study.
His fellow astronomers opposed his theories and his obsessing over Copernicus' work.


Fact 5:-

In 1615, the Roman Inquisition investigated the matter and declared it to be in violation of church teachings; Galileo was forbidden to continue writing and supporting heliocentric ideas.

Fact 6:-

Black Body Radiation: Wien Displacement Law

What is a Blackbody? A black body is an idealization in physics that pictures a body that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation incident on it irrespective of its frequency or angle. Through the second law of thermodynamics that a body always tries to stay in thermal equilibrium. To stay in thermal equilibrium, a black body must emit radiation at the same rate as it absorbs and so it must also be a good emitter of radiation, emitting electromagnetic waves of as many frequencies as it can absorb i.e. all the frequencies. The black body radiation is governed by the Planck radiation law. The Planck radiation law explains the various electromagnetic radiations emitted by a black body at thermal equilibrium at a fixed temperature. Through the Planck radiation law, we were able to understand that radiation emitted by a body is completely independent of the body’s shape, size or composition and is dependent only on the Temperature of the body. ...
