Here is a sketch overview of some of the individuals who contributed to the revolution in physics and psychology. THE REVOLUTION IN physics & PSYCHOLOGYX-rays & radiation On November 8, 1895, a German physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen accidentally discovered x-rays. He placed a vacuum tube with a wire attached to each end inside a disconsolate box, creating a discharge tube. He turned the lights off in the research laboratory and turned on the electrical current with a very noble voltage across the tube. A short distance away he noticed a glowing fluorescent light. Roentgen did not hunch over the origin of these rays, therefore he called them x-rays. As he continued experimenting on these rays, he discovered that the rays could penetrate books and wood. He concluded that these x-rays where from the discharge tube. When the uncovering of x-rays was announced, stories and poems were published in magazines and newspapers. X-rays are used in many ways, such(prenominal) as in medicine ( CAT scans and MRIs), industry, science, etc. X-rays also obligate dangers and side effects such as cancer, skin burns, hair loss, and another(prenominal) serious conditions due to the extremely high voltage. In 1902, Ernest Rutherford discovered that at least two types of radiation existed. He labeled these types of radiation important particles and beta particles. Rutherford also discovered that radiation was caused by the disintegration of atoms and suggested that ample stores of energy were present within atoms. In 1911, he announced his form of the structure of the atom. He proved that the atom has a very small, tightly packed, charged nucleus. With all of Rutherfords contributions and discoveries in science and radiation, he was president of the majestic Society, rece... ...ating force in human life. This causes compensatory mechanisms that result in self-centered neurotic attitudes. Rank came up with a theory of neurosis, indicating all neu rotic disturbances to the scathe of birth. The psychoanalytic movement affected work in psychology, sociology, anthropology, religious studies, history, and literary theory.
