Sir William Lawrence Bragg CH, OBE, MC, FRS^[1] (31 Mairch 1890 – 1 Julie 1971) wis an Australie-born Breetish pheesicist an X-ray crystallografer, discoverer (1912) o Bragg's law o X-ray diffraction, which is basic for the determination o crystal structur. He wis jynt winner (wi his faither, William Henry Bragg) o the Nobel Prize in Pheesics in 1915: "For thair services in the analysis o creestal structur bi means o X-ray",^[3] an important step in the development o X-ray crystallografie.
