	William Henry Bragg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir William Henry Bragg OM, Cantab, OKW (Westward, Cumbria, England July 2, 1862 – March 10, 1942) was an English physicist and chemist, educated at King William's College, Isle of Man, and Trinity College, Cambridge.
		He served on the faculties of the University of Adelaide in Australia (1886-1908), the University of Leeds (1909-15), and the University College London (1915-25).
		He shared with his son William Lawrence Bragg the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics for their studies, using the X-ray spectrometer, of X-ray spectra, X-ray diffraction, and of crystal structure.

		William Henry's mother died when he was just seven years old, and he was sent to live with a bachelor uncle, whose place he regarded as home during his years away at school and at Cambridge University.
		William Henry's original interest was in what diffraction showed about the nature of X rays, and he was a skilled experimenter and designer of instruments.
		William Lawrence was more concerned with what X rays revealed about the crystalline state, and he possessed a powerful ability to conceptualize physical problems and express them mathematically.

	William Henry Bragg, Sir Biography / Biography of William Henry Bragg, Sir Biography
		Bragg, in a simple reinterpretation of Laue's elegant mathematical theory, looked upon the interaction as a reflection of the waves of a narrow incident beam from a large number of equally spaced parallel planes of atoms.
		The Bragg equation embraces both the corpuscular and wave theories of x-rays and relates the x-ray wavelength, the angle of reflection, and the spacing of the planes.
		Bragg immediately saw the importance of the discovery and was able, with his son, to determine the exact arrangement of atoms or ions in crystals of a variety of simple substances such as common salt, diamond, and copper.

	Bragg, Sir William
		William Bragg came on his father's side from a family without academic traditions, mainly yeoman farmers and merchant seamen.
		It was this early training that enabled him, later (in 1912), after his return to England, to design the Bragg ionization spectrometer, the prototype of all modern X-ray and neutron diffractometers, with which he made the first exact measurements of X-ray wavelengths and crystal data.
		Bragg and his elder son, Lawrence, who was studying physics at Cambridge, then began to apply X rays to the study of crystal structure.

		This led to an understanding of the ways in which atoms combine with each other and revolutionized mineralogy and later molecular biology, in which X-ray diffraction was crucial to the elucidation of the structure of DNA.
		Bragg became convinced that X-rays behave as an electromagnetic wave motion.
		He and his son used it to determine the structures of various crystals on the basis that X-rays passing through the crystals are diffracted by the regular array of atoms within the crystal.
