Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was the physicist who discovered X-rays in 1895 while experimenting with cathode rays. He noticed that a fluorescent screen in his lab started to glow even though it was not directly in the path of the cathode rays, leading him to investigate further. This exploration ultimately resulted in the identification of a new form of radiation, which he termed "X-rays." Röntgen's discovery revolutionized medical imaging and diagnostics.
