Q. Who discovered X-Ray ?
In 1895, German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered X-rays while experimenting with cathode rays.
He noticed that a fluorescent screen in his lab glowed even though it wasn’t directly exposed to the cathode rays.
This led to the identification of a new type of radiation, which he called X-rays (the “X” signifying something unknown at the time).
For this groundbreaking discovery, Röntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.
