[edit] Pronunciation

How his family name ('Strutt') is pronounced? Mir76 17:25, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I would imagine that it's pronounced like the verb 'to strut.' For my part, I'd like to know how his title is pronounced. I've heard the 'y' pronounced as a 'w'. --Smack (talk) 18:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Smack: not according to the OED. They have /ˈreɪlɪ/ (see IPA). — DIV (128.250.204.118 08:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC))

My physics book says that Rayleigh was the last person to understand all of physics and all of mathematics. Is this true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.87.175.97 (talk) 23:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
