Прочитайте и переведите текст Who Won the 1907 Nobel Prize for Physics?

What did Michelson go to Berlin and Paris for?

It was Michelson, Albert Abraham, a Ger­man-born U.S. physicist. He established the speed of light as a fundamental constant and won the 1907 Nobel Prize for Physics.

Michelson came to the United States with his parents when he was two years old. From New York the family travelled to Virginia City and San Francisco. At 17 Michelson entered the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, where he did well in science. He graduated in 1873, then worked as science instructor at the Academy from 1875 until 1879. In 1878 Michelson began to work on the speed of light. He was able to get a value* with home-made apparatus. He be­lieved that he had to study optics before he could make real progress. So he travelled to Europe in 1880 and spent two years in Ber­lin, Heidelberg, and Paris. When he returned to the United States, he determined the speed of light — 299,853 kilometres (186,329 miles) per second, a value that was the best for a generation.
