Sir William Bragg was a pioneer British scientist in solid-state physics who was a joint winner (with his son Sir Lawrence Bragg) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915 for his research on the determination of crystal structures.
Oct 13, 2021 · Sir William Henry Bragg was Cavendish Professor from 1909 to 1915. He and his son Lawrence worked on the use of X-rays to determine the arrangement of atoms within crystals. By then, it had already been discovered that a beam of X-rays would bend or scatter if it passed through a crystal.
