Wilhelm Conrad RÖntgen 1845 - 1923 Wilhelm Conrad Ršntgen is a German physicist who was born on March 27, 1845 at Lennep in Germany. When he was three years old, his family moved to Apeldoorn in The Netherlands, where he attended a boarding school, the Institute of Martinus Herman van Doorn. While he was attending this school, he was very interested in making mechanical devices. This interest of his followed him through the rest of his life. Ršntgen later entered a technical school at Utrecht
Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen Many people think of heroes and think of them as characters who help and save lives. Yes, that is a correct and simple definition of what a hero is. In a fictional world heroes use their special super powers to save and protect lives from alien invasion trying to conquer planet Earth. Medical professionals are no different in the sense that they too help in protecting and saving lives. They use their special powers to fight off alien microorganisms trying to invade your body

This has resulted in better healthcare and helped doctors discover and treat diseases that they didn’t know about before. For example, in 1878, Charles Bennett discovered a way to make cameras that were more sensitive to light, and these immediately started being used for medical purposes, and then in 1895 Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen started using astronomical X-rays for
Marianne Wiggins’s Evidence of Things Unseen explores the transformation Ray Foster undertakes with his various experiences with science. Fos identifies himself as a phenomenologist, and he involves himself with bioluminescence. Fos created his own x-ray machine to better understand the inner workings of the human body. His passion to discover the invisible enabled him to fall in love with Opal. Fos informed Opal of all things science and their importance to life. When his family had to move from
One possesses the key to unlock the undiscovered mysteries of life. Leading to future advancements, the discoveries made will trigger society to benefit appreciably. For instance, Marie Curie, an influential scientist, greatly benefitted society in a variety of ways. Her unforgettable and inspiring accomplishments, such as her work on radioactivity and discovery of polonium and radium, triggered a new field of physics. Furthermore, she ignited attention towards the interior of the atom and led to
The Discovery of X-Rays X-rays were discovered by accident in 1895 by the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. Roentgen was already an accomplished scientist with forty-eight published papers. He had a reputation among the scientific community as a dedicated scientist with precise experimental methods. Roentgen had been conducting experiments at the University of Wurzburg on the effect of cathode-rays on the luminescence of certain chemicals. Roentgen had placed a cathode-ray tube, which
past have been innovated to work better, and faster than they have ever been before making things easier and quick to discover and work on. One of these inventions has been the X-ray. It was first discovered in 1895 by a German physics professor, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, who performed the first human X-ray on his wife’s hand. The X-ray has been around for a while now, and a plethora of changes have been made for the X-ray to work its best. The X-ray has brought many advantages into the medical field
In November of 1985, a German physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen was experimenting in his laboratory with a Crookes tube. The Crookes tube was developed by English physicist William Crookes. A Crookes tube is a gasless, glass container that contains a negatively charged cathode and a positive charged anode with an induction coil to carry a current. Roentgen discovered that when a high voltage was applied to the tube, it emitted an invisible source of beams that led a fluorescent screen to glow. This
I am going to be talking about medical x- rays, x-ray waves, how x-rays and visible light are different and the same, how you use x-rays and what are the ethical issues of an x-ray. Willhelm Conard Roentgen was the one who discovered x-rays in 1995. He knew that the new ray succeeded in forcing a way through most substance like the human tissues, but he did not know what the exact nature of ray is, which is the reason why he named the object X- (means unknown) ray. Medical x-rays are used to diagnose
During the cold winter of 1895, a German scientist by the name of Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen was working with a cathode-ray tube when he noticed nearby crystals were glowing. When Roentgen reached for the crystals he was amazed when the shadow cast on the crystal was not of his whole hand, but just his bones. Roentgen covered the tube with heavy black paper and saw that the crystals still glowed and the shadow of his hand bones still shown through, he then determined that a new ray was being emitted
Leibniz's Theory of Space in the Correspondence with Clarke and the Existence of Vacuums (1) ABSTRACT: It is well known that a central issue in the famous debate between Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Samuel Clarke is the nature of space. They disagreed on the ontological status of space rather than on its geometrical or physical structure. Closely related is the disagreement on the existence of vacuums in nature: while Leibniz denies it, Clarke asserts it. In this paper, I shall focus on Leibniz's
Psychotherapy via Bellow in Seize the Day The ending of Seize the Day is ironic and revealing about the theme of the entire novella. When Tommy Wilhelm inadvertently attends a funeral for a stranger, he begins to sob uncontrollably at the sight of the unknown corpse. It is a painful reminder of his own mortality and a cathartic release of emotion he has been building up over the downward spiraling course of his life. However, it is ironic because Tommy is the only one at the funeral who is
Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's The Last Laugh About The Director: Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau is one of the most important filmmakers of the cinema during Weimar Republic period. He is often grouped with Fritz Lang and G.W. Pabst as the "big three" directors of Weimar Germany. He finished his career in Hollywood and was killed at a young age in a car crash. Three of his films appear on the greatest films lists of critics and film groups. Even though there seems to be little written about him. Early

Wilhelm Wundt's Psychology: Judgment It is almost impossible to write historically informed essays about any given topic in modern psychology without making reference to the work of Wilhelm Wundt. In part, this is because he produced a tremendous amount of written work (over 53,735 published pages1), and because he is widely regarded as the first experimental psychologist.2 So, it’s no surprise that Wundt has something to say about the psychology of judgment. Given the historical context in which
Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz are two of the most supreme intellects of the 17th century. They are both considered to be the inventors of Calculus. However, after a terrible dispute, Sir Isaac Newton took most of the credit. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) was a German philosopher, mathematician, and statesman born in the country of Leipzig. He received his education at the universities of Leipzig, Jena, and Altdorf. He received a doctorate in law. He devoted much
The Consequence of Desire in Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s Rapunzel Historical scholars, patriots, and entertainers of an accidental nature: all have been used to describe Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, the two German brothers who, in the 19th century, dedicated much of their lives to the collection and publication of folk-tales in an attempt to help define the cultural identity of their country. The entertainment value of this collection was probably not considered at the time of its origination, especially
A Psychoanalytic Interpretation of Rapunzel The familiar story of Rapunzel, as told by the brothers Jacob Ludwig Carl and Wilhelm Carl Grimm, takes on new meaning with a psychoanalytic interpretation. It is a complex tale about desire, achievement, and loss. The trio of husband, wife, and witch function as the ego, id, and superego respectively to govern behavior regarding a beautiful object of desire, especially when a prince discovers this object. The story begins in a rural house where

The Structure and Underlining Meanings of Rapunzel by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm The story of Rapunzel, by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, has the same basic structure as all other fairy tales born from the oral tradition; what is commonly referred to as the opening, main part and ending, is the foundation of the tale. It is around this clearly defined three-part structure of the plot, that invisible layers of meaning exist – often very different for each reader. Between the clever design
