Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FIZEAU, ARMAND HIPPOLYTE LOUIS (18191896) ,
French
  physicist, was born at Paris on the 23rd of September 1819. His earliest
work
  was concerned with improvements in photo-graphic processes; and then, in association with J. B. L.
Foucault
 , he engaged in a
series
  of investigations on the interference of
light
  and heat. In 1849 he published the first results obtained by his method for determining the
speed
  of propagation of
light
  (see LIGHT), and in 185o with E. Gounelle measured the velocity of electricity. In 1853 he described the employment of the con-denser as a means for increasing the efficiency of the
induction
 -coil. Subsequently he studied the expansion of solids by heat, and applied the phenomena of interference of light to the measurement of the dilatations of crystals. He died at Venteuil on the 18th of September 1896. He became a member of the
French
 
Academy
  in 186o and of the Bureau des Longitudes in 1878.
