Willebrord Snel
Willebrord Snellius (born Willebrord Snel van Royen) (13 June 158030 October 1626) was a Dutch astronomer and mathematician, Snell. His name is usually associated with the law of refraction of light known as Snell's law. The lunar crater Snellius (crater), Snellius is named after Willebrord Snellius. The Royal Netherlands Navy has named three survey ships after Snellius, including a HNLMS Snellius, currently-serving vessel. Biography Willebrord Snellius was born in Leiden, Netherlands. In 1613 he succeeded his father, Rudolph Snellius, Rudolph Snel van Royen (1546–1613) as professor of mathematics at the University of Leiden. Snellius' triangulation In 1615, Snellius, after the work of Eratosthenes in Ptolemaic Kingdom, Ptolemaic Egypt in the 3rd century BC, probably was the first to try to do a large-scale experiment to measure the Earth radius, circumference of the earth using triangulation (surveying), triangulation.

Snell's Law
Snell's law (also known as Snell–Descartes law and ibn-Sahl law and the law of refraction) is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media, such as water, glass, or air. This law was named after the Dutch astronomer and mathematician Willebrord Snellius (also called Snell). In optics, the law is used in ray tracing to compute the angles of incidence or refraction, and in experimental optics to find the refractive index of a material. The law is also satisfied in meta-materials, which allow light to be bent "backward" at a negative angle of refraction with a negative refractive index. Snell's law states that, for a given pair of media, the ratio of the sines of angle of incidence (\theta_1 ) and angle of refraction (\theta_2 ) is equal to the refractive index of the second medium w.r.t the first (n21) which is equal to the ...

Snellius was an influence on some of the leading political and intellectual forces of the Dutch Golden Age. Life Rudolph Snel van Royen was born on 5 October 1546 in Oudewater. Born to a wealthy family in Episcopal principality of Utrecht while this province was under the dominion of the emperor Charles V, Rudolf Snel grew up in the city of Oudewater. At maturity he left to study at the University of Cologne under Valentin Naboth and at the University of Heidelberg under Immanuel Tremellius and soon received a teaching position at the University of Marburg. Though trained in Aristotelian logic, he had become impressed with the new logic of Petrus Ramus, which he taught along with mathematics and languages at his university posts. In 1578, he returned to Oudewater soo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dutch Surname
Dutch names consist of one or more given names and a surname. The given name is usually gender-specific. Dutch given names A Dutch child's birth and given name(s) must be officially registered by the parents within 3 days after birth. It is not uncommon to give a child several given names. Usually the first one is for daily use, often in a diminutive form. Traditionally, Catholics often chose Latinisation of names, Latinized names for their children, such as ''Catharina'' and ''Wilhelmus'', while Protestants more commonly chose simple Dutch forms such as ''Trijntje'' and ''Willem''. In both cases, names were often shortened for everyday use (''Wilhelmus'' and ''Willem'' became ''Wim''). In 2014 39% of Dutch children received one name, another 38% were given two names, 20% had three names, 2% got four names and only a few hundred children had five or more given names.
