THE DISCOVERY OF X=RAYS
X-rays, which play such an important part in modern medicine and surgery, owe their discovery to an accident. The scientist Rontgen, when experimenting with the passage of an electric current through vacuum tubes, found that some photographic plates which were screened from the action of light were affected as if the light had penetrated their covering. He continued to experiment on these lines, and finally he produced the rays that are known to-day as Xrays. They are so' called because for a. long time the exact nature and power of the rays was unknown, and accordingly the symbol of the “unknown quantity” —X—was used in their name. Many other rays have since been discovered and named, but although everything is now known about the X-rays, the old name is still used.
