John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh (/ ˈ r eɪ l i /; 12 November 1842 – 30 June 1919), was an English physicist and mathematician.He spent all of his academic career at the University of Cambridge.
Robert John Strutt, 4th Baron Rayleigh FRS [1] (28 August 1875 – 13 December 1947) was a British peer and physicist. He discovered "active nitrogen" and was the first to distinguish the glow of the night sky.

Rayleigh scattering causes the blue color of the daytime sky and the reddening of the Sun at sunset. Rayleigh scattering (/ ˈ r eɪ l i / RAY-lee) is the scattering or deflection of light, or other electromagnetic radiation, by particles with a size much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation.
Rayleigh fractionation describes the evolution of a system with multiple phases in which one phase is continuously removed from the system through fractional distillation. It is used in particular to describe isotopic enrichment or depletion as material moves between reservoirs in an equilibrium process .
Comparison of Rayleigh–Jeans law with Wien approximation and Planck's law, for a body of 5800 K temperature.. In physics, the Rayleigh–Jeans law is an approximation to the spectral radiance of electromagnetic radiation as a function of wavelength from a black body at a given temperature through classical arguments.
Hydrodynamics simulation of a single "finger" of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability. [1] Note the formation of Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities, in the second and later snapshots shown (starting initially around the level =), as well as the formation of a "mushroom cap" at a later stage in the third and fourth frame in the sequence.
