Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Blue plaque for a Nobel prize winner Wilson spent a few weeks as a volunteer observer at the meteorological observatory on Ben Nevis summit in 1894. On returning to Cambridge, he devised a cloud chamber apparatus to reproduce clouds on a small scale, which also proved invaluable in detecting ionising radiation, then a burgeoning branch of physics. He shared the 1927 Nobel Prize with Arthur Compton for this work.
The plaque is a couple of hundred metres along a path from the ranger centre at Flotterstone, close by the Pentland Hills. |
