Abstract:
Roentgen's experiments with X-rays, or R\"ontgen rays, described by J.J. Thomson and published in this book in 1899 were awarded the first-ever Nobel prize a year later in Physics, in 1900. ***Warning!*** Do not attempt to repeat the experiments described in this book by Roentgen--which involve the observation of X-rays by the human eye near a slit-- as permanent retina damage and blindness would result!!
Roentgen concluded: "I have no experiment to describe from which, with sufficient certainty, I could obtain proof of the diffraction of X-rays."
It was for Max von Laue, and later the Braggs, to succeed in recording (and in the latter case explain) the diffraction of X-rays, and be awarded for it the next Nobel prizes.
