    Henri Becquerel accidentally discovered radioactivity in 1896 while investigating how uranium is influenced by light. He found that uranium spontaneously emitted a radiation that could expose photographic plates, even without light. Further experiments showed this was a new phenomenon and not X-rays. For his discovery of radioactivity, Becquerel shared the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with Marie and Pierre Curie.

    1. Henri Becquerel is a French physicist to find proof of
    radioactivity.
    2. He accidentally found radioactivity in 1896 while
    investigating how uranium is influenced by light.
    3. He found that uranium spontaneously flashed a radiation
    that penetrates and could be recorded on photography
    disc.
    4. Further investigation showed that this is a new finding
    and it isn’t X-ray.
    5. Henri Becquerel found a new phenomenon, radioactivity.
    6. In 1903, he was awarded Nobel Prize in Physics together
