On the 150th anniversary of Petr Nikolaevich Lebedev

Petr Nikolaevich Lebedev
(08.03.1866—14.03.1912)

The outstanding Russian physicist Petr Nikolaevich Lebedev was born 150 years ago, on 8 March 1866 (on 24 February according to the Old Style). A brilliant experimenter who managed in that now-distant time to perform subtle experiments on the measurement of the light pressure exerted on solids and gases and the founder of the first Russian scientific school of world-class physicists, P.N. Lebedev is present (if only implicitly) in the achievements of our science even today. One of his pupils wrote in 1967: "The effect of Lebedev's personal influence was undoubtedly transferred via his pupils, primarily via P.P. Lazarev and S.I. Vavilov, as well as via their pupils, and is inherent in one form or another in our science even now." Today, almost half a century later, it is valid to say that Lebedev's influence (now via his scientific grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren) is still present in our science in much prominent scientific work up to the present time.
