paper while working in
University of Dhaka.
Only four pages long derives
Planck's
formula and was able to derive the formula for radiation from

Einstein
who saw at once that Bose had removed a major objection against
light quanta.

A Neclear
Scientist Famous for Thermo-Ionization Equation:
His theory of
high-temperature ionization of elements and its application to
stellar atmospheres, expressed in the Saha equation, is
fundamental to modern astrophysics; subsequent development of
his ideas has led to increased knowledge of the pressure and
temperature distributions of stellar atmospheres....More>>
