	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.

		Heredity William Henry Bragg was the son of Robert Henry Bragg who, at the early age of 25, gave up a post in the British Merchant Navy to purchase and cultivate a farm in the village of Westward near the town of Wigton in Cumberland.
		Bragg was not long in raising his voice in criticism of this defect and in pleading the claim of science to be regarded as an educational medium of high practical value.
		While Bragg the father was engaged on this work, Bragg the son was employed upon the parallel problem of locating the position of the eneny's heavy guns by somewhat similar mans, namely the precise times of arrival of the soundwave which accompanied the firing of the gun at several different stations behind the British lines.

		His father, William Henry Bragg, was Professor of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Adelaide.
		William Lawrence Bragg is most famous for his law on the diffraction of X-rays by crystals.
		Bragg's law makes it possible to calculate the positions of the atoms within a crystal from the way in which an X-ray beam is diffracted by the crystal lattice.

		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.

		In 1915 he shared with his son Lawrence Bragg the Nobel Prize for Physics for their research work on X-rays and crystals.
		The Braggs' work gave a method of determining the positions of atoms in the lattices making up the crystals, and for accurate determination of X-ray wavelengths.
		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.

		The Bragg equation (or law) is basic to modern X-ray diffraction, a process used to analyze crystal structures by studying the characteristic patterns of X-rays that deviate from their original paths because of closely spaced atoms in the crystal.
		Bragg used this methodology to show that in rock salt the two kinds of ions, sodium and chloride, are arranged alternately in a cubic lattice.
		Lawrence Bragg studied the structures of silicates, metals, alloys and proteins.
