Explanation:
Wilhelm Roentgen was a German physicist. In 1895 he discovered X‑rays, which became important in medical diagnosis and therapy.
Roentgen was a professor of physics at Würzburg University. He was conducting an experiment when he noticed photographic plates near his equipment glowing. He discovered the glowing was caused by mysterious rays emitted by the glass tube used in his investigation. This tube contained a pair of electrodes. As electricity passed between the electrodes, X‑rays were emitted and appeared on the photographic plates. Roentgen called the rays ‘X’ for unknown.
