Ludvig Valentin Lorenz (/ˈlɒrənts/ LORR-ənts;[needs Danish IPA] 18 January 1829 – 9 June 1891)[1] was a Danish physicist and mathematician. He developed mathematical formulae to describe phenomena such as the relation between the refraction of light and the density of a pure transparent substance, and the relation between a metal's electrical and thermal conductivity and temperature (Wiedemann–Franz–Lorenz law).
