Extractions: This entry contributed by Michel Barran American physicist who received his B.A. from Harvard in 1891. He then studied at Johns Hopkins (1892), Chicago (1892-1894), and Berlin (1894-1896), although never earning a doctorate. He subsequently taught at the University of Wisconsin (1897) and became professor of experimental physics in 1901 at Johns Hopkins, where he was subsequently named professor emeritus in 1938 and research professor for 1938-1955. Wood was internationally known for his work in optics and spectroscopy, in which fields he undertook fundamental research in resonance radiation and in the use of absorption screens in astronomical photography. He also devised a vastly improved diffraction grating In 1897, Wood became the first to observe field emission i.e., charged particles emitted from a conductor in an electric field This phenomenon is now used in the field emission microscope for studying atomic structure. Wood's work on sodium vapor was especially noteworthy (Dunoyer). Wood also developed a color-photography process, as well as both infrared and ultraviolet photography. Wood made many inventions in various fields, including the method of thawing street mains by passing an electric current through them, the frosted glass light bulb, the Vienna method of detecting forged documents. He was apparently also the first person ever to show animated films. After 1920, Wood made important contributions to the fields of ultrasound and biophysics by studying the biological and physiological effects of high-frequency sound waves. The "Wood light" for generating ultraviolet radiation (more commonly called a "

Extractions: Wood, Robert Williams 1868-1955, American physicist, b. Concord, Mass., grad. Harvard (B.A., 1891). After studying abroad he became associated with Johns Hopkins Univ. as professor of experimental physics in 1901, professor emeritus in 1938, and later research professor. Internationally known for his work in optics and spectroscopy, he made important researches in resonance radiation and in the use of absorption screens in astronomical photography and devised a vastly improved diffraction grating. He also developed a color-photography process, originated the method of thawing street mains by passing an electric current through them, and studied the biological and physiological effects of high-frequency sound waves. He wrote Physical Optics (1905) and Researches in Physical Optics (2 parts, 1913-19). Wood was also the author of The Man Who Rocked the Earth (with Arthur Train, 1915) and nonsense verse, How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers (rev. ed. 1917).
