his son, William Lawrence Bragg, founded the new science of X-ray analysis of crystal structure. Their volume, X-Rays and Crystal Structure (1915), had reached a fifth edition 10 years later.
Слайд 4Sir Owen Willans Richardson
(26 April 1879 - 15 February
1959)
He researched the photoelectric effect, the gyromagnetic effect,
the emission of electrons by chemical reactions, soft X-rays, and the spectrum of hydrogen.
Слайд 5Sir James Chadwick
(20 October 1891 – 24 July 1974)
In 1932, he made a fundamental discovery in the domain
of nuclear science: he discovered the particle in the nucleus of an atom that became known as the neutron because it has no electric charge.
Слайд 6Sir Edward Victor Appleton
(6 September 1892 – 21 April 1965)
Nobel prize for his investigations of the physics of
the upper atmosphere especially for the discovery of the so-called Appleton layer.
Слайд 7Sir Nevill Francis Mott
(30 September 1905 – 8 August 1996)
His accomplishments include explaining theoretically the
effect of light on a photographic emulsion (see latent image) and outlining the transition of substances from metallic to nonmetallic states (Mott transition)
