Sir William Henry Bragg
Born: In England , Cumberland in 1862 on the 2nd of January.
He studied mathematics and physics in the Cavendish Laboratory during 1885. At the end of that year was elected to the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in the University of Adelaide, South Australia.
Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the X-Ray but Bragg decided to make the first to see what was wrong with his son's elbow. This was the first use of diagnostic tool used in Australia. So he migrated to Australia because and of this achievement. Because of this he won the Nobel Peace Prize for physics in 1915. Sir William Henry Bragg has made a big difference to Australians.
Bragg said that Australia was like fresh air and sunshine.
William Henry Bragg has changed history because if he hadn't have built the first X-Ray machine then we may not have been able to see whether we have a broken bone or had a major injury.
