Gustav Robert Kirchhoff (German: [ˈkɪʁçhɔf]; 12 March 1824 – 17 October 1887) was a German physicist and mathematician who contributed to the fundamental understanding of electrical circuits, spectroscopy, and the emission of black-body radiation by heated objects.
Gustav Kirchhoff was a German physicist who, with the chemist Robert Bunsen, firmly established the theory of spectrum analysis (a technique for chemical analysis by analyzing the light emitted by a heated material), which Kirchhoff applied to determine the composition of the Sun.
Gustav Robert Kirchhoff was a German physicist who made significant contributions to the fundamental understanding of black-body radiation emitted by heated objects, spectroscopy, and electrical circuits.
Kirchhoff was a mathematical physicist best known for his laws on the flow of electric current. Gustav Kirchhoff's father was Friedrich Kirchhoff, a law councillor in Königsberg with a strong sense of duty to the Prussian state. Gustav's mother was Johanna Henriette Wittke.
In 1860 Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff discovered two alkali metals, cesium and rubidium, with the aid of the spectroscope they had invented the year before. These discoveries inaugurated a new era in the means used to find new elements.
