• I was a German physicist, born and educated at Konigsberg.
  • I became professor of physics at Breslau, Heidelberg and Berlin
    Universities.
  • Working with Professor Bunsen I developed the spectroscope, by which
    caesaium and rubidium were later discovered.
  • I enunciated two basic laws on electricity, named after me.
  • These are used to calculate current and voltage in complex electrical
    circuits.
  •  I was the first to explain the Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum.
