Robert hooke refers to the British scientist robert hooke, who also translated robert hooke. 1635 July 18 was born in Frey Swat village, Isle of Wight, England.
In physics research, he put forward Hooke's law, a basic law describing the elasticity of materials. In mechanical manufacturing, he designed and manufactured vacuum pumps, microscopes and telescopes, and wrote his own book "Microscopy", which he later named cells.
2. Levin Hook:
Levin Hooke, full name Anthony Levin Hooke, is a Dutch microscopist and a pioneer in microbiology. He was born and died in Delft, the Netherlands. Because of his diligence and unique talent, he polished lenses far more than his contemporaries.
There are many kinds of magnifying glasses and simple microscopes. The materials of lenses are glass, precious stones and diamonds. He polished more than 400 lenses in his life.
Optical contribution
Hooke was one of the most outstanding scientists in Britain in the17th century. He has made great achievements in mechanics, optics and astronomy. The scientific instrument he designed and invented was unparalleled at that time. He himself is called the "eyes and hands" of Britain.
In optics, Hooke is a supporter of the wave theory of light. 1655, Hooke put forward the wave theory of light, and he thought that the propagation of light was similar to that of water waves. In 1672, Hooke further put forward the concept that light waves are shear waves. In optical research, Hooke's main job is to carry out a large number of optical experiments, especially to manufacture optical instruments. He made or invented various optical instruments, such as microscopes and telescopes.
