Aug 24, 2021 · Russian science icon, Pyotr Lebedev, is well known for first proving the existence of light pressure by measuring its action on both solids and gases. His experiments are discussed here as well as comparison with later, independent light-pressure measurements in solids by Nichols and Hull and European scientists.

Beside his immediate scientific accomplishments he is remembered in Russia for popularization of physical science in lectures and articles. He is also credited for raising the next generation of Russian physicists. In 1905 about 20 young scientists were working in his lab, which was a large number given the atmosphere of almost universal illiteracy...
