Sir William Henry Bragg (2 July 1862 – 12 March 1942) was an English physicist, chemist, mathematician, and active sportsman who uniquely [1] shared a Nobel Prize with his son Lawrence Bragg – the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics: "for their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays". [2]
Gwendoline Todd (1869 – 29 September 1929) married the physicist William Henry Bragg on 1 June 1889. He and their elder son William Lawrence Bragg shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915. [4] Lorna Gillam Todd (1877–1963) wrote a series of articles on her father for the Adelaide Chronicle [35]
Bragg is a relative of William Henry Bragg and his son Lawrence Bragg, who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915 for their work in x-ray crystal structure analysis. He presented a Radio 4 programme on the subject in August 2013. [46] [47]
Portrait of William Lawrence Bragg taken when he was around 40 years old. Sir William Lawrence Bragg (31 March 1890 – 1 July 1971), known as Lawrence Bragg, was an Australian-born British physicist and X-ray crystallographer, discoverer (1912) of Bragg's law of X-ray diffraction, which is basic for the determination of crystal structure.
William Henry Bragg (1862–1942), 1915 Nobel Prize–winning physicist (joint, with his son) William Lawrence Bragg (1890–1971), 1915 Nobel Prize–winning physicist (joint, with his father) William John Bragg (1858–1941), Ontario farmer and political figure; William Bragge (1822–1882), English civil engineer and antiquarian
Richard Daniel Kleeman (20 January 1875 – 10 October 1932) was an Australian physicist. With William Henry Bragg he discovered that the alpha particles emitted from particular radioactive substances always had the same energy, providing a new way of identifying and classifying them.
William Henry Bragg Dame Kathleen Lonsdale DBE FRS ( née Yardley ; 28 January 1903 – 1 April 1971) was a British crystallographer , pacifist , and prison reform activist. She proved, in 1929, that the benzene ring is flat by using X-ray diffraction methods to elucidate the structure of hexamethylbenzene . [ 2 ]
The Bragg Initiative was named for William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg. This father and son team won the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics for their "services in the analysis of crystal structures by means of X rays". [ 6 ]
