Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen who lived between March 27, 1845 until February 10, 1923 a German physicist who became the first recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901. He received Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of X-rays to mark the beginning era of Modern Physics and revolutionized diagnostic medicine.
Röntgen studied at the ETH Zurich, and then became professor of Physics at the University of Strasbourg (1876-1879) Giesen (1879-1888) Wurzburg (1888-1900) and Munich (1900-1920). His research also included work on elasticity, capillary movement of fluids, specific heats of gases, conduction of heat in crystals, absorption of heat by gases, and piezoelectricity.
In 1895, while experimenting with electric current flow in a partially evacuated gas tube (cathode ray tube), Röntgen observed that a nearby piece of barium release platinosianida ray tube during operation. He formulated the theory that when the cathode rays (electrons) penetrate the wall of glass tube, some unknown form of radiation that penetrates through the room chemicals, and cause fluorescence. Further observations revealed that, paper, wood, and aluminum among other materials are transparent to this new form of radiation.
He found that it affected photographic plates are not real and show some properties of light such as reflection or refraction, he mistakenly thought that the rays were unrelated to light. In view of the uncertain nature of it, he called the phenomenon X radiation, though also known as X-ray radiation. He took the first x-ray photography in metal objects and bones of her hand.
