As Committee is set to anunce winner of bel Prize in Physics on October 6, 2020, it recalled one of world’s “greatest minds”, Albert Einstein. Remembering his ground-breaking discoveries and research that continue to give direction to physics even till this date, Einstein was awarded 1921 bel Prize in Physics, a year later in 1922 for his oretical physics and discovery of law of photoelectric effect. 

Remarkably, during election process in 1921, bel Committee for Physics h decided that ne of that year’s minations successfully met criteria outlined in will of Alfred bel. refore, prize was reserved until next year to be awarded to Albert Einstein. Born in Germany in 1879, Einstein’s contribution to Physics started early on his life. Beginning his study on light as early as in 1905, he went on to explain that light consists of “quanta-packets” that have a fixed amount of energies corresponding to ir frequencies.

Albert Einstein grew up in Munich, Germany where his far owned an electrical engineering company.

Second woman to receive bel Prize in Physics

Apart from legendary Albert Einstein, bel Prize Committee also remembered second woman ever to receive prize in Physics in 1963, Maria Goeppert-Mayer for her work ion nuclear shell structure of atoms. Sharing an interesting fact about iconic woman, Committee revealed that she did most of research work without being paid but it fetched her bel Prize in Physics when she was 57 years old.  She was one of only three women to get hour. Marie Curie was first woman to be awarded in 1903 and n in 1905. Donna Strickland got bel Prize in Physics in 2018.
