Wilhelm Roentgen, who discovered X-rays won the first Nobel prize for physics, first in the science category. it might be argued as these rays have obvious medical applications there may have been an overlap with Medicine and Physiology, there wasn"t. Ivan Pavlov- who studied reflexes of dogs, won the first Medicine prize If I remember correctly- He was, as the name indicates, a Russian national. Roentgen was German, again Wilhelm a good German handle. Pronounced (Rent-Genn with hard G like in (Gain). the year was MCM-l900/ Long time ago but X-rays still in use.
