Hermann Ebert

Hermann Ebert ( born June 20, 1861 in Leipzig, † February 12, 1913 in Munich) was a German experimental physicist.

Life

Ebert was born in 1861 as the son of a merchant in Leipzig. He attended the Thomas School in Leipzig.

From 1881 he studied mathematics and science (astronomy at Heinrich Bruns and physics with Gustav Heinrich Wiedemann ) at the University of Leipzig. He moved to the Technical University of Darmstadt and the University of Erlangen and in 1886 at Eilhard Wiedemann phil with a thesis about the dependence of the wavelength of the light intensity of the Dr.. doctorate. He habilitated in 1890 at the University of Erlangen methods of spectral analysis.

Then he went on study trips in 1894 extraordinary professor of theoretical physics at the University of Leipzig ( the first ) and full professor of experimental physics at the University of Kiel. In 1898 he went as a full professor at the Technical University of Munich and founded by Carl von Linde, the Faculty of Technical Physics.

From 1898 to 1912 he was a member of the German Physical Society.

Science

Hermann Ebert made ​​contributions to spectroscopy and magnetism. In addition, he worked on electrical gas discharges and electrical phenomena in the atmosphere, and constructed 1888 Interferentialspektrometer.

The Ebert Fastie spectrometer is named after him and the astrophysicist William G. Fastie (Baltimore). It is a further development of the Brewer spectrometer by William Brewer (Berlin).

Family

He was married to the daughter of Surgery Professor Gustav Adolf Mitscherlich.
