At the end of 1895, the German physicist Roentgen discovered a penetrating ray, which was named X-ray because its properties were unknown. After the news of the discovery of X-rays spread, the whole world made a sensation.

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.

Roentgen ray is the first so-called "penetrating ray" discovered by human beings, which can penetrate some substances that ordinary light cannot penetrate. When it was first discovered, Roentgen took a picture of his wife's hand with this ray, showing the structure of the hand bone. This discovery immediately caused a great sensation and brought great honor to Roentgen. 190 1 awarded the nobel prize for the first time, so roentgen found that he won the nobel prize in physics.

Roentgen's original paper A New X-ray was published 50 days later, namely189565438+February 28th. 1896 65438+1On October 5th, an Austrian newspaper reported the discovery of Roentgen. After Roentgen discovered X-rays, the University of Wü rzburg awarded him an honorary doctorate in medicine. From 1895 to 1897, he published three papers on X-rays. Roentgen is very rigorous in his studies, and so far no mistakes have been found in his academic papers.
