July 18, 2016 Monday


The mastermind and the organizer of the attack on me Mr. Sanjay
Veera might be getting his bail today.

His bail fee to the lawyer itself was Rs. 3 lakhs.

As per the supreme court ruling, anybody charged under Section
307 of the Indian Penal Court can not be given an anticipatory
bail.

It would be interesting to see how the criminal law plays out.

To personally experience the criminal judiciary system is a whole
new experience.
  


So what did Moseley's experiments with metals of various elements on this ingenious apparatus reveal?

Each element was emitting X-rays of unique frequency.

With this data after multitudes of experimenting, he plotted a graph with the x axis as the square root of the emitted X-ray frequencies and the y axis as the atomic number of elements.

What do u think he got?

Yes Sir, a straight line!

To his surprise he had proved experimentally van den Broek's hypothesis.

This data made sense only if the positive charge in the nucleus of elements increased by exactly one unit as you go horizontally along the groups in the periodic table.

Moseley's Law as it later came to known also established for good that the atomic number is equal to the positive charge in the atomic nucleus.

Before Moseley's experiment, the concept of atomic number was rather loose and was not associated with any measurable physical quantity.

This was a landmark moment.

Adding a proton resulted in a new element.

Finally, the fundamental basis of elements and thereby the whole of chemistry was established.

By the way, did you know that Henry Moseley's research career spanned just 40 months?

Less than 4 years!!

I will not rest this story so easily for this forgotten genius's tragic death needs to be narrated.

Stay tuned to the voice of an average storytelling chimpanzee or login at http://panarrans.blogspot.in/

Good night mon ami and my fellow cousin ape.
