Robert Wilhelm Eberhard Bunsen (German:[ˈbʊnzən];
30 March 1811[a]
– 16 August 1899) was a German chemist. He investigated emission spectra of heated elements, and discovered caesium (in 1860) and rubidium (in 1861) with the physicist Gustav Kirchhoff.[11] The Bunsen–Kirchhoff Award for spectroscopy is named after Bunsen and Kirchhoff.
Bunsen also developed several gas-analytical methods, was a pioneer in photochemistry, and did early work in the field of organic arsenic chemistry. With his laboratory assistant Peter Desaga, he developed the Bunsen burner, an improvement on the laboratory burners then in use.
