Wojciech Wieczorek Follow Feb 25 3 min read In 16, Becquerel had registered the very first spontaneous radioactivity while working on xrays A mere accident allowed him to detect remarkable, notseenbefore phenomenon To some degree, all discoveries are like rolling a dice What, once thought out, is kind of funny;Radioactivity was discovered by Henri Becquerel She used naturally fluorescent minerals to research the properties of xrays, which Wilhelm Roentgen had discovered in 15 He arranged potassium uranyl sulphate on photographic plates covered in black paper and exposed it to sunlight, assuming that the uranium absorbed the sun's energy and thenBecquerel's discovery, together with Marie and Pierre Curie's discovery of radium, became the breakthrough for the th century research in medical radiation physics and the use of radioactivity in medicine In this paper, we draw attention to Becquerel's discovery and the impact it had on medicine and society
