||Rudolf Hermann Arndt Kohlrausch (b. November 6, 1809) was a German physicist. In 1856, with Wilhelm Weber (1804–1891), he demonstrated that the ratio of electrostatic to electromagnetic units produced a number that matched the value of the then known speed of light. This finding was instrumental towards Maxwell's conjecture that light is an electromagnetic wave. Pic.
