He began his career in Cambridge, and later became the Cavendish Professor of Physics at the University of Leeds. Bragg, along with his son Lawrence Bragg, developed the Bragg's Law, which explains the diffraction of X-rays by crystals and laid the foundation for the analysis of crystal structure. For their contributions, both father and son received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915, making William Bragg the oldest Nobel laureate at that time. Bragg's work revolutionized the field of crystallography and paved the way for many advancements in science.
