Today is the death anniversary of the great scientist Jagdish Chandra Bose. He was born on November 30, 1858, in Mymensingh village, Bengal (present-day Bangladesh). Bose Ji was called a famous physicist and plant physiologist. He was very knowledgeable since childhood and used to do research in some field or the other. Jagadish Chandra Bose has also written many great texts, some of which are as follows - Reactions of living and non-living, Reaction of flora, Motivational mechanics of plants, etc.
Jagdish Chandra Bose received his primary education in a school in his village, after which he came to Calcutta and enrolled in 'St. Xavier's School,' Jagdish Chandra Bose had a great interest in biology, yet was a renowned professor of physics. Father Lafont inspired Bose to study 'physics'. After receiving the degree 22-year-old Bose went to London to study medical science, but due to poor health, he gave up the idea of becoming a doctor and took a BA degree from Christ's College, Cambridge. Jagdish Chandra Bose returned home in the year 1885 and started teaching at Presidency College as an assistant professor of the physical subject.
Jagdish Chandra Bose started his scientific work in the field of microwaves and his experiments on the subject of refraction, diffraction, and polarization. The use of galena crystals in receivers of short wavelengths, radio waves, and both white and ultraviolet light was devised by Bose. Bose demonstrated wireless communication by radio waves in 1885, two years before Marconi's. In this demonstration, Jagdish Chandra Bose rang a bell from a distance and made gunpowder explode. Many of the present-day microwave devices such as wave guides, polarizers, dielectric lenses, semiconductor detectors for electromagnetic radiation, were invented and used by Bose in the last decade of the nineteenth century.
It was Bose who suggested the existence of electromagnetic radiation coming from the Sun, which was confirmed in 1944. Bose then turned his attention to the response of plants to an event. Bose showed that in a variety of stimuli such as mechanical, thermal, electrical and chemical, vegetable tissues also produce electrical signals similar to those of animals. Bose Ji laid the foundation of human development and made many successful efforts for human life.
