Everything about Adolfo Bartoli totally explained
Adolfo Bartoli (* March 19, 1851 in
Firenze; † July 18, 1896 in
Pavia) was an
italian physicist, who is most well known for the theoretical prediction of the existence of
radiation pressure.
Bartoli studied
physics and
mathematics at the
University of Pisa until 1874. He was Professor of Physics at the Technical Institute of
Arezzo from 1876, at the
University of Sassari from 1878, at the Technical Institute of Firenze from 1879, at the
University of Catania from 1886 to 1893, and at the
University of Pavia from 1893.
In 1874
James Clerk Maxwell found out that the existence of tensions in the ether like the
radiation pressure follows from the electromagnetic theory.
In 1876 Bartoli derived the existence of radiation pressure from
thermodynamics. He argued that the radiant
temperature of a body can be raised by reflecting its
light from a moving
mirror, and therefore it's possible to transport
energy from a colder to a hotter body. To avoid this violation of the second law of thermodynamics, it's necessary that light impart a pressure to the mirror.
Therefore, the radiation pressure was also called "Maxwell-Bartoli pressure".
Later the radiation pressure played an important role in the work of Albert Einstein in connection with
mass-energy equivalence and the
photoelectric effect. Einstein lived in Pavia at that time (1895), when Bartoli held the Physics chair at the local University. However, it's unknown whether Einstein was directly influenced by Bartoli.
