He was elected a member of the Academie des Sciences de France in 1889 and succeeded Berthelot as Life Secretary of that body. He was a member also of the Accademia dei Lincei and of the Royal Academy of Berlin, amongst others. He was made an Officer of the Legion of Honour in 1900. He was married to Mlle.

b iography... home Becquerel, Antoine Henri (1852-1908) was a French physicist who discovered radioactivity in 1896, an achievement for which he shared the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with Pierre Curie (1859-1906) and Marie Curie (1867-1934). The Curies did not participate in Becquerel's discovery but investigated radioactivity and gave the phenomenon its name. Becquerel Becquerel's grandfather and father were respected physicists with positions at the Museum of Natural History and other institutions. On their deaths, in 1878 and 1891 respectively, Becquerel Becquerel then began the work for which he is remembered, not necessarily because of his position but because of the discovery of X-rays made by Wilhelm Röntgen (1845-1923) early in 1896. This prompted Becquerel to investigate fluorescent crystals for the emission of X-rays, and in so doing he accidentally discovered radioactivity in uranium salts in the same year. Pierre and Marie Curie then searched for other radioactive materials, which led them to the discovery of polonium and radium in 1898. Becquerel subsequently investigated the radioactivity of radium, and showed in 1900 that it consists of a stream of electrons. In the same year

Il partageait son temps entre l'enseignement à l'École polytechnique et quelques travaux de recherche sans grand relief. Comme son fils Jean, lui aussi physicien, s'en fit l'écho plus tard : Becquerel « disait que les travaux qui depuis une soixantaine d'années s'étaient succédé dans ce même laboratoire formaient une chaîne qui devait fatalement, quand l'heure serait propice, aboutir à la radioactivité ». Ce moment arriva lorsque, au début de 1896, Henri Poincaré présenta avec enthousiasme à l'Académie des sciences l'extraordinaire découverte des rayons X faite par le physicien allemand Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen.

Powered by JRank Chemistry Explained Foundations and Applications Chemistry Ar-Bo Becquerel, Antoine-Henri FRENCH PHYSICIST One wraps a Lumiere photographic plate with a bromide emulsion in two sheets of very thick black paper, such that the plate does not become clouded upon being exposed to the Sun for a day. One places on the sheet of paper, on the outside, a slab of the phosphorescent substance, and one exposes the whole to the Sun for several hours. When one then develops the photographic plate, one recognizes that the silhouette of the phosphorescent substance appears in black on the negative. (Becquerel Comptes Rendus (potassium uranium sulfate monohydrate), which has a strong but short-lived phosphorescence. Becquerel suspected that the rays that produced the silhouettes emanated from the uranium salt itself, and that the small amount of sunlight was of no consequence. He arranged three more experiments, in which photographic plates were kept completely in the dark but put in direct contact with: (1) the salt; (2) a thin sheet of glass; and (3) a thin sheet of aluminum. He surmised that the glass would eliminate any possibility that a silhouette was the consequence of a chemical reaction, and that the aluminum would block the mysterious rays. Developing the photographic plates, Becquerel observed an intensely defined silhouette on the first two plates, and a clear but considerably weaker silhouette on the third. Because he had double-boxed his plates inside his dark room and had placed the ensembles inside a drawer that he then closed, he was able to conclude that his mysterious rays were not related to phosphorescence and were not induced by sunlight.
