We also take a look at the history of science and want to find out from your general knowledge how William Röntgen described the rays he discovered. He only gave them one letter, which stood for “unknown”, as their nature and properties were not yet fully understood at the time of their discovery. They were later named after Röntgen and became known as X-rays. Röntgen’s discovery contributed to the development of modern radiology and influenced many areas of medical imaging and research.
