26 sie 2024 · J.J. Thomson, English physicist who helped revolutionize the knowledge of atomic structure by his discovery of the electron (1897). He received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1906 and was knighted two years later. Learn more about his life, career, and legacy.
The British physicist Joseph John “J. J.” Thomson (1856–1940) performed a series of experiments in 1897 designed to study the nature of electric discharge in a high-vacuum cathode-ray tube, an area being investigated by many scientists at the time.
2 lut 2020 · J.J. Thomson is credited with the discovery of the electron, the negatively charged particle in the atom. He is known for the Thomson atomic theory. Many scientists studied the electric discharge of a cathode ray tube. It was Thomson's interpretation that was important.
On his return from America, he achieved the most brilliant work of his life – an original study of cathode rays culminating in the discovery of the electron, which was announced during the course of his evening lecture to the Royal Institution on Friday, April 30, 1897.
