| Title | Trouton, Frederick Thomas: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Citation | Discovered the law connecting the extent head of vaporisation and molecular weights of bodies known as "Trouton's law" and experimentally determined the directions of vibration of electric and inaquatic force in plane polarised light. He has made other important observations on the phase of secondary waves and on the influence of the size of the reflector in Hertz's equipment. Author of - "On Molecular Latent Heat" (Phil. Mag.
