Boyle's law

Boyle's law (sometimes called the Boyle Mariotte law) is one of the gas laws. Boyle's Law is named after the Irish natural philosopher Robert Boyle (1627-1691) who discovered it in 1662. Edme Mariotte (1620-1684) was a French physicist who discovered the same law independently of Boyle in 1676, so this law is often known as Mariotte's or Mariotte Boyle law.
