Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORNU, MARIE ,ALFRED (18411902), French physicist, was born at Orleans on the 6th of
March
  1841, and after being educated at the Ecole Polytechnique and the Ecole des Mines, became in 1867 professor of experimental physics in the former institution, where he remained throughout his
life
 . Although he made various excursions into other branches of
physical
  science, undertaking, for example, with J. B. A. Bailie about 187o a repetition of Cavendish's experiment for determining the mean density of the earth, his
original
 
work
  was mainly concerned with optics and spectroscopy. In particular he carried out a classical redetermination of the velocity of light by A. H. L. Fizeau's method, introducing various improvements in the apparatus, which added greatly to the accuracy of the results. This achievement won for him, in 1878, the prix Lacaze and membership of the
Academy
  of Sciences in France, and the Rumford
medal
  of the Royal Society in England. In 1899, at the
jubilee
  commemoration of Sir George Stokes, he was Rede lecturer at
Cambridge
 , his subject being the undulatory theory of light and its influence on modern physics; and on that occasion the honorary degree of D.Sc. was conferred on him by the university. He died at Paris on the 11th of April 1902. .
