Elmer Samuel Imes (October 12, 1883 – September 11, 1941) was an internationally renowned American physicist who made important contributions in quantum, demonstrating for the first time that Quantum Theory could be applied to the rotational energy states of molecules, as well as the vibration and electronic levels.
25 de out. de 2021 · Experimental spectroscoper Elmer Imes was the second African American to earn a doctorate in physics. He worked in spectroscopy and quantum mechanics, was involved in New York City’s Harlem Renaissance, and later went on to establish Fisk University’s Physics Department.
Born in Memphis, Tennessee, on 12 October 1883, Elmer Samuel Imes (figure 1) entered a nation that was still wounded from the Civil War—a war fought, at least in part, to determine whether people of his ethnicity could be the legal property of other people. 1 Thirty-five years later Imes became only the second black man to receive a PhD in ...
Elmer Samuel Imes (1883-1941) was the second African-American to earn a Ph. D. in Physics (the first was Edward Bouchet, Yale PhD 1878). Imes, who completed his PhD at Michigan in 1918 under the direction of Harrison Randall, is among the first African American scientists to make important contributions to modern physics
