Question

Make a short note on the education of Dr.Bhabha.

Answer 1

Hint: Homi Jehangir Bhabha was a nuclear physicist who was born in India and made major contributions to quantum theory and cosmic radiation. He was the first Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission of India and is known as the "father of the Indian nuclear program."

Complete step by step solution:
Born into a prominent wealthy Parsi family, Homi Jehangir Bhabha was linked to businessmen Dinshaw Maneckji Petit and Dorabji Tata through him. On $30$ October $1909$ , he was born. His father was Jehangir Hormusji Bhabha, a well-known Parsi lawyer, and Meheren was his mother. He earned his early studies at the Cathedral and John Connon School of Bombay, and after passing his Senior Cambridge Examination with Honours, entered Elphinstone College at age fifteen.
Before attending Caius College of Cambridge University, he then attended the Royal Institute of Science in 1927. This was due to the insistence of his father and his uncle Dorabji, who decided to obtain a mechanical engineering degree from Cambridge for Bhabha and then return to India, where as a metallurgist he would join Tata Steel or Tata Steel Mills in Jamshedpur.
The Salomons Studentship in Engineering was awarded to Bhabha during the 1931–1932 academic year. In 1932, on his Mathematical Tripos, he won first class and was awarded the Rouse Ball travelling mathematics studentship.
Nuclear physics drew the best minds during this period, and as opposed to theoretical physics, the opposition to theoretical physics criticized the field because it was lenient towards hypotheses rather than demonstrating natural phenomena by experiments.

Note:
It was Bhabha's lifetime obsession to perform experiments on particles that also emitted tremendous quantities of radiation, and his leading edge studies and experiments gave great laurels to Indian physicists who, one of the most notable being Piara Singh Gill, especially switched their fields to nuclear physics.
