Jagadish Chandra Bose
Jagadish Chandra Bose was an Indian scientist born on November 30, 1858. He is best known for his pioneering work in the field of plant physiology and biophysics. Bose invented the crescograph, an instrument that measures plant growth, and demonstrated that plants can respond to stimuli, similar to animals. His research laid the foundation for the study of plant behavior.
In addition to his contributions to biology, Bose was also a physicist and made significant advancements in the field of radio and microwave optics. He was one of the first to explore the properties of electromagnetic waves, which later influenced the development of wireless communication. His work has had a lasting impact on both science and technology.
