Philo Farnsworth was an American inventor and scientist who made major advances in early electronic camera and television technology.

==Personal Life==
===Early Life/Education===
Farnsworth was born in Beaver, Utah in 1906. In 1918 his family moved to Rigby, Idaho. He had an early interest in mechanical and electrical technology. While in high school Farnsworth built his mother an electric washing machine, designed a magnetic locking mechanism for cars, and began designing what would become one his life's greatest accomplishments, electronic television. He went on to attend Brigham Young University and the National Radio Institute.
===Accomplishments/Work===
Farnsworth became fascinated with the task of designing an electronic image scanning device. He was inspired by plowing rows crops and thought that scanning an image could be done in a similar way. He also applied the same idea to television. In 1927 he demonstrated a working electronic television and later developed what he called an "image dissector" to capture images to be sent to his television.
In addition to his development of the electronic camera and television. He also founded the Farnsworth Radio and Television Corporation in 1936 to begin producing home radio and TV sets. The company was later bought by RCA.
In the 1950's Farnsworth was interviewed by CBS where he spoke about flat panel high definition televisions he had envisioned. He described them to be like picture frames that one would hang on their wall. They would have nearly four times the scan lines to utilize the analog TV signal bandwith to a greater degree.
===Later Life===
By the time Farnsworth passed away he had around 300 patents covering a variety of inventions such as the electron microscope, baby incubator, radar, and infared night vision.
Interestingly, Farnsworth did not want a television in his family's home, he, according to his son Kent, "Did not want television in their intellectual diet."
Farnsworth died in 1971 from pneumonia.

__NOTOC__
Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Intro Physics. This resources was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it!

Looking to make a contribution?
#Pick a specific topic from intro physics
#Add that topic, as a link to a new page, under the appropriate category listed below by editing this page.
#Copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.

Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.

== Source Material ==
All of the content added to this resource must be in the public domain or similar free resource. If you are unsure about a source, contact the original author for permission. That said, there is a surprisingly large amount of introductory physics content scattered across the web. Here is an incomplete list of intro physics resources (please update as needed).
