If he had discovered X rays
If he had discovered X rays, the Curies and other researchers have working in radioactivity. -
X-ray Discovery
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen is usually credited as the discoverer of X-rays -
Period: to
Radioactivity
-
Radioactivity discovery
Radioactivity was rediscovered by the French scientist Henri Becquerel, while working on phosphorescent materials. Further research by Becquerel, Pierre Curie, Marie Curie, and others. -
Dangers of Radioactivity
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. -
Types of Radiation
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. -
Consequences of not dicovered the radioactivity
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. -
Effects of Radiation
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 -
Another Energy
By not discover radiation and their properties had not found another way to get energy - nuclear energy- -
Today
Today, if he had not discovered radiation could not diagnose and treat certain diseases such as cancer. -
Tool in Medicine
Radiation is a very useful tool in medicine and that means that if he had not have had medicine discovered long delays
