190 1 year, he became the first physics prize winner of the Nobel Prize, and he immediately transferred the prize money to the Institute of Physics of the University of Wichita for purchasing equipment. According to incomplete statistics, he won more honors before and after his death 150, so it is very difficult to evaluate Roentgen's achievements. His X-ray research work is very complete from the current level. He declined the title of nobility, did not apply for a patent, and did not seek sponsorship, which made the application of X-ray develop rapidly and popularize. From 1540 to 1895, there are 25 scientists related to the discovery of X-rays, including Bohr, Newton, Franklin, Ampere, Ohm, Faraday, Hertz, crookes, Leonard, etc. Roentgen finally succeeded on the basis of its own efforts and exploration. 1February 923 10 died in Munich.
The Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy Science Prize to those who have made contributions to human society in the field of physics. This is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by alfred nobel's will in 1895, which was awarded in 190 1 year. The other four are the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the Nobel Prize in Literature, the Nobel Peace Prize and the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
German physicist wilhelm konrad rontgen. Roentgen has done experimental research in many fields of physics all his life, such as magnetic effect of dielectric moving in charged capacitor, specific heat capacity of gas, thermal conductivity of crystal, pyroelectric and piezoelectric phenomena, rotation of polarization plane of light in gas, photoelectric relationship, elasticity of matter, capillary phenomenon and so on. He won great honor for discovering X-rays, so that most of these contributions were ignored.
Discover x-rays
One day in June, 1895, 1 1, Roentgen completely covered the sealed glass tube with thick black paper to avoid light interference. However, when he turned on the circuit of the cathode ray tube, he found that a fluorescent screen on the nearby workbench began to glow, as if it were excited by the induction of a lamp. He cut off the current of the cathode ray tube and the screen stopped emitting light. Roentgen repeated experiments, and the same fluorescence appeared every time, so Roentgen determined that the luminescence of the fluorescent screen was caused by some radiation of the ray tube. Roentgen named it X-ray because we didn't know much about its nature at that time. Then Roentgen did another very interesting experiment. He asked his wife to put her hand between the X-ray film and the photographic film. After a while, she took out the film and developed it. It was the first X-ray film in the world. The structure of Mrs. Roentgen's hand bone and the shadow of the ring on her hand are clearly visible on it.
