Sir William Lawrence Bragg
Sir William Lawrence Bragg
William Lawrence Bragg was born in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1890. He was the eldest child of William Henry and Gwendoline Bragg. He had a brother, Bob, who was one year younger than him, and a sister Gwendolen who was seventeen years his junior. 'Billy' was a dreamy, quiet child, preferring solitary pursuits such as shell collecting, which he did on family holidays at the sea side. He even discovered a new cuttlefish, which was named Sepia Braggii after him. Academically, Lawrence was always ahead of his age group at school, yet was not very good at games and social activities. He once said to his sister Gwendolen: 'You and I find things easier than people, Gwendy.' [3] Lawrence was only fifteen years old when he commenced study at the University of Adelaide, and he graduated with a first-class honours degree in mathematics in 1908 . In 1909, Lawrence travelled to England to study at Cambridge University. This move coincided with the family's move to Leeds, England. He entered Trinity College, intending to become a mathematician. However, during his second year, his father, William, encouraged him to change his focus to physics.

Sir William Lawrence Bragg (31. bøezna 1890 – 1. èervence 1971) Nobelovu cenu získal v roce 1915 spoleènì se svým otcem W. H. Braggem za výzkum struktury krystalù pomocí rentgenových paprskù. Anglický fyzik sir William Lawrence Bragg se narodil v roce 1890 v Adelaide v jižní Austrálii. První vzdìlání získal na univerzitì v rodném mìstì a po návratu do Anglie se svým otcem v roce 1909 zaèal studovat fyziku na Trinity College v Cambridgi. V roce 1919 se stal profesorem fyziky na univerzitì v Manchesteru. Práce, kterou s otcem provádìl v letech 1912 – 1914, položila základy souèasné rentgenové krystalografie. Spoleènì sestrojili pøístroj na mìøení dosahu èástic alfa, které jsou emitovány radioaktivními látkami. Braggové urèili strukturu velkého množství krystalických látek a závìry svých úvah ovìøili na rentgenovém spektrometru vlastní konstrukce. W. L. Bragg bìhem let 1926 – 1933 se svými spolupracovníky potvrdil èetnými pokusy závìry teorie P. Debyeho, že tepelný pohyb atomù nepùsobí na polohu a výraznost interferenèních maxim, ale zmenšuje jejich intenzitu. Pro vìdu mají práce Braggových o struktuøe krystalù a o uspoøádání atomù a molekul v prostorových útvarech obrovský význam, nebo výraznì pøispìly k rozvoji krystalografie a staly se základem dalších výzkumù interference na prostorových møížkách.

The California State Capital Building emits 60 millirem radiation per year as it is built of granite and is Dr. Keith Richman's comparative analysis with the Rocketdyne/Boeing contaminated sites and reasoning to vote against Senate Bill 1444 authored by Senator Sheila James Kuehl. Dr. Richman is also the Assemblymember (R-Northridge) who represents the contaminated areas of Simi and West San Fernando Valley. The California Department of Health Services and the Department of Energy document their findings that cleanup of the Rocketdyne/Boeing Santa Susana Field Laboratory and its Energy Technology Engineering Center emissions of 15 millirem radiation is safe for human health. Assemblymember Richman wants scientifically based information and legislation and thus has denied residents of SB 1444/Senator Kuehl's legislative protections.
I know Legislators put in long, hard, difficult hours but then they GO HOME when they are finished. They do not live in a 60 millirem radiation emitting building every day of the week or raise their children onsite. The laws of math provide the fact that 15 millirems multiplied by 365 equals 5,475 millirems exposure a year. This figure does not include the fact of the cumulative effects of additional radiation exposure caused by previous illegal dumping of radioactive materials from SSFL and ETEC and other sites at Bradley, Sunshine Canyon, and Calabasas landfills despite the fact that Sacramento Judge Gail Ohanesian prohibited the California Department of Health Services and Boeing from dumping at those sites TWICE within this past year. The 5,475 yearly millirem radiation exposure especially does not include

William Lawrence Bragg , son of William Henry Bragg, was born in Adelaide, South Australia, on March 31, 1890. He received his early education at St. Peter's College in his birthplace, proceeding to Adelaide University to take his degree in mathematics with first-class honours in 1908. He came to England with his father in 1909 and entered Trinity College Cambridge , as an Allen Scholar, taking first-class honours in the Natural Science Tripos in 1912. In the autumn of this year he commenced his examination of the von Laue phenomenon and published his first paper on the subject in the Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society in November.
In 1914 he was appointed as Fellow and Lecturer in Natural Sciences at Trinity College and the same year he was awarded the Barnard Medal. From 1912 to 1914 he had been working with his father, and the results of their work were published in an abridged form in X-rays and Crystal Structure (1915). It was this work which earned them jointly the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915, and from this year to 1919, W. L. Bragg served as Technical Advisor on Sound Ranging to the Map Section, G.H.Q., France, receiving the O.B.E. and the M.C. in 1918. He was appointed Langworthy Professor of Physics at

Sir Lawrence Bragg, 1962 Camera Press in full SIR WILLIAM LAWRENCE BRAGG (b. March 31, 1890, Adelaide, S.Aus., Australiad. July 1, 1971, Ipswich, Suffolk, Eng.), Australian-born British physicist and X-ray crystallographer, discoverer (1912) of the Bragg law of X-ray diffraction, which is basic for the determination of crystal structure. He was joint winner (with his father, Sir William Bragg ) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915. He was knighted in 1941. Bragg was the eldest child of Sir William Bragg. His maternal grandfather, Sir Charles Todd, was postmaster general and government astronomer of South Australia. Educated at St. Peter's College, Adelaide, and then at Adelaide University, Bragg gained high honours in mathematics at an age when most boys were still in secondary school. In 1909 he went to England to enter Trinity College, Cambridge. He began the study of physics, which he had not studied earlier, although he had taken some chemistry. During the summer vacation of 1912, his father discussed with him a recent book on the work of the German physicist Max von Laue, who asserted that X rays could be diffracted by passing them through crystals. Upon his return to Cambridge, young Bragg, believing that Laue's explanation was incorrect in detail, carried out a series of ingenious original experiments, as the result of which he published the Bragg equation, which tells at what angles X rays will be most efficiently diffracted by a crystal when the X-ray wavelength and distance between the crystal atoms are known (

Coda: "A Very Pleasant Climax" 4. Sir William Lawrence Bragg Pauling's only real competitor in the field of discovering the structure of complex molecules was Sir William Lawrence Bragg, English Nobel laureate and leader of the laboratory in which Watson and Crick toiled. Bragg and Pauling had competed for scientific priority several times since the late 1920s, when they vied to be the first to publish the structures of large inorganic molecules like silicates (Pauling took the prize); and again for the structure of basic protein components (Pauling won again in 1951). Their competition was low-key and polite, but pointed. Bragg was a quiet man. He had won his Nobel Prize at a very early age for work with his father on x-ray crystallography. He was head of one of Britain's leading laboratories, the Cavendish at Cambridge. He had little to prove. But he, like Pauling, had become fascinated with the molecular structures of large biomolecules, and had a large, well-equipped team working on proteins, including the eminent researchers Max Perutz and John Kendrew (in whose laboratory Watson, Crick and Peter Pauling worked). They had all been galled when Pauling beat them to the alpha helix. Bragg was weary of coming in second.
