Z Sir Edward Victor Appleton 1965 ) Category ( Physicists suggest a correction In 1936, Appleton returned to Cambridge for three years as the chair of natural philosophy. Upon leaving Cambridge again, Appleton became the secretary of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. This coincided with the beginning of World War II. Two years later, he became a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee for the War Cabinet. This group informed the government of the feasibility of creating an atomic bomb. In 1943, Appleton traveled to the United States and Canada to collaborate with North American Scientists on the subject. Throughout the war, Appleton continued his own research and discovered that sunspots change the reflectivity of the ionosphere. He also found that the sunspots themselves emitted radio waves. Appleton received many awards for his work in physics research. He won the Nobel Prize in physics, the United States Medal of Merit, the Office of the French Legion, the Norwegian Cross of Freedom, and the Albert Medal of the Royal Society of Arts among many others. He died on April 21, 1965. Image: Edward Victor Appleton in army uniform, taken in World War I.

Sir Edward Victor Appleton Sir Edward Victor Appleton British winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1947 for his discovery of the so-called Appleton layer of the ionosphere, which is a dependable reflector of radio waves and as such is useful in communication. Other ionospheric layers reflect radio waves sporadically, depending upon temperature and time of day. Educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, Appleton worked at the Cavendish Laboratory from 1920 until he was appointed Wheatstone professor of physics at King's College, University of London, in 1924. There he attained international repute with his research into the propagation of electromagnetic waves and the characteristics of the ionosphere. He showed that radio waves of wavelength sufficiently short to penetrate the lower region of the ionosphere are reflected by an upper region (now known as the Appleton layer, or F2 layer). This discovery made possible more reliable long-range radio communication and aided in the development of radar. In 1936 Appleton returned to Cambridge as Jacksonian professor of natural philosophy and in 1939 became secretary of the government's Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, where he worked on radar and the atomic bomb during World War II. He was knighted in 1941 and became principal and vice-chancellor of Edinburgh University in 1949.
