A French physicist named Jean Baptiste Perrin, validated Albert Einstein's explanation of the Brownian motion of tiny particles suspended in liquids (sedimentation equilibrium) and thus established the atomic nature of matter. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1926 for this accomplishment.
(i). The Compton effect, which is discovered in 1923 and used to show that electromagnetic radiation is a particle, gained Arthur Holly Compton, the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927. (ii). Scottish physicist and meteorologist Charles Thomson Rees Wilson, earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927 for developing the cloud chamber.
Sir Owen Willans Richardson, was a British physicist who earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1928 for his research on thermionic emission, which gave rise to Richardson's law.
Following the first experimental demonstration of matter's wave-like motion in 1927, De Broglie was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1929.
The Raman effect, in which light that passes through a material is scattered and the wavelength of the scattered light is altered because it has triggered an energy state transition in the material's molecules, was discovered by C.V. Raman and was recognised with the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics.
In 1931 no award was given.
Werner Karl Heisenberg was a German theoretical physicist. He is well-known for his 1927 publication of the uncertainty principle. The development of quantum mechanics earned Heisenberg the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Erwin Schrödinger and Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory."
In 1934 no award was given.
British physicist Sir James Chadwick, won the 1935 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the neutron in 1932.
Victor Franz Hess "for his discovery of cosmic radiation" and Carl David Anderson "for his discovery of the positron" shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1936 evenly.
Clinton Joseph Davisson and George Paget Thomson shared the 1937 Nobel Prize in Physics "for their experimental discovery of the diffraction of electrons by crystals."
Enrico Fermi, was a physicist who developed the Chicago Pile-1, the first nuclear reactor in history. He has been referred to as both the "architect of the atomic bomb" and the "architect of the nuclear age". For his work on induced radioactivity by neutron bombardment and the discovery of transuranium elements, Fermi received the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Ernest Orlando Lawrence, an American nuclear physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1939 for developing the cyclotron.
No award given due to world war II (1940, 1941, 1942).
