I have got this puzzel - who do you connect with these equations?
I know the answers to a, b, v, w, y

Hint for "z": It has the constant "h" in it, which appears only in equations that have to do with quantum physics. Who do you associate with quantum physics?
 
h - is Planck's constant. But I associate Bohr, Einstein, and Heisenberg as well with quantum physicics
 
OK - z was Planck's law :-p
 
I think, I'm sure about all except the formula for the power/energy used in a resistor. I guess this has also been Ohm, but I'm not sure who was historically first.

The equation involves time, so is definitely energy (aka work).

Unit of energy = Joule http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Prescott_Joule

Sure, but who has given this formula first, be it in the integrated form or as the power, in any of the equivalent forms, [itex]P=U I=R I^2=U^2/R[/itex]?
