Q

Conducted several experiments with cathode rays which are streams of electrons emitted from the surface of a cathode.

A

Johann Wilhelm Hittorf

39
Q

Furthered study the cathode rays and demonstrated that matter was emitted from the cathode with enough energy to rotate a wheel placed within a tube.

A

William Crookes

40
Q

_______’s works were repeated and further developed by Crookes.

41
Q

Furthered the investigation of the cathode rays. He found that cathode rays could penetrate thin metal and would project a few centimeters into air. He did a tremendous amount of research with cathode rays and determined their energies by measuring the amount of penetration. He also studied the deflection of rays as a result of magnetic fields.

A

Philipp Lenard

42
Q

Produced a radiograph in 1890. His achievement was recognized only in retrospect and after the discovery of x-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. He was not credited with the discovery of x-rays.

William Goodspeed

43
Q

Produced the first photographic copy of written material in 1727.

Richard Leach Maddox

45
Q

Produced and patented roll-paper film. With this significant improvement of image recording material and the improvement in the cathode ray tube, the basis for modern-day radiography was established.
