Henry Augustus Rowland (1848–1901) was an influential American physicist known for his significant contributions to the field of optics and metrology. He is particularly renowned for his work on diffraction grating and his studies of the spectra of light, which greatly advanced the understanding of light and its behavior. Rowland developed the first accurate method for measuring the wavelength of light, which was critical in the field of spectroscopy.
