Biography of Johannes Stark
Johannes Stark (1874 - 1957) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1919 for his discovery of the Doppler effect in canal rays and of the splitting of spectral lines in electric fields.
Peter Debye
Petrus (Peter) Josephus Wilhelmus Debye (1884 - 1966) was a physical chemist whose investigations of dipole moments, X rays, and light scattering in gases brought him the 1936 Nobel Prize for ...
Sir Joseph John Thomson
Sir Joseph John Thomson (1856 - 1940) most important work was his original study of cathode rays culminating in the discovery of the electron.
Vacuum Tubes
The conduction of electricity in thin gases in vacuum tubes was the key to the discovery of the electron in 1897.Description of the discovery of Cathode rays.
Virtual Image
A virtual image is formed at the position where the paths of the principal rays cross when projected backward from their paths beyond the lens.
Antoine Henri Becquerel
Antoine Henri Becquerel (1851 - 1908) investigated whether there was any connection between X-rays and naturally occurring phosphorescence.
Sir William Henry Bragg
Sir William Henry Bragg (1861 - 1941) and his son Lawrence founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance, the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays.
Bragg's Law
The condition for maximum intensity contained in Bragg's law allows us to calculate details about a crystal structure, or if the crystal structure is known, to determine the wavelength of the x-rays ...
