Michael Kasha was a prominent American chemist known for his significant contributions to the fields of photochemistry and molecular spectroscopy. Born on February 2, 1920, Kasha is best known for Kasha's Rule, which describes the efficiency of energy transfer in excited states of molecules, particularly in relation to fluorescence and phosphorescence. His work has had a profound impact on understanding the behavior of excited states in various chemical systems.
