-
If he had discovered X rays, the Curies and other researchers have working in radioactivity.
-
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen is usually credited as the discoverer of X-rays
-
-
Radioactivity was rediscovered by the French scientist Henri Becquerel, while working on phosphorescent materials. Further research by Becquerel, Pierre Curie, Marie Curie, and others.
-
The dangers of radioactivity and radiation were not immediately recognized. Acute effects of radiation were first observed in the use of X-rays when electrical engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla intentionally subjected his fingers to X-rays in 1896.
-
Different types of decay can occur, producing very different types of radiation. The early researchers also discovered that many other chemical elements besides uranium have radioactive isotopes.
-
The first consequence had been the unkwon the elements such as radium, polonium and the origin of chemical elements that very importantto the medical treatment.
-
The genetic effects of radiation, including the effect of cancer risk, were recognized much later by Hermann Joseph Muller was published research showing genetic effects
-
By not discover radiation and their properties had not found another way to get energy - nuclear energy-
-
Today, if he had not discovered radiation could not diagnose and treat certain diseases such as cancer.
-
Radiation is a very useful tool in medicine and that means that if he had not have had medicine discovered long delays
