Becquerel discovered radioactivity when he noticed that uranium salts could fog up photographic plates even when they were wrapped in opaque paper, suggesting the presence of an invisible radiation. Through further experiments, he demonstrated that this radiation was spontaneously emitted by uranium atoms. This discovery paved the way for further research into the field of nuclear physics.
