Thomson. George Paget

Thomson, Joseph John and Thomson, George Paget were father and son. Rutherford was J.J. Thomson s student at Cambridge. J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897 and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906. G.P. Thomson won the Nobel Prize in 1937 together with Davisson he died in 1976 (hom 1892). So, the father proved that electrons were particles and the son proved they were waves. 

George Paget Thomson (1892-1975). English physicist. Son of J. J. Thomson, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1937, along with Clinton Davisson, for demonstrating wave properties of electrons.

Clinton Joseph Davisson (1881 1958) was an American physicist at Bell Telephone Laboratories. He discovered the diffraction of electrons with L.H. Germer, and together they received the Nobel Prize in 1937 for their experimental discovery of the diffraction cf electrons by crystals. The prize was shared with G.P. Thomson, who used a different diffraction method. George Paget Thomson (1892 -1975), son of the discoverer of the electron, Joseph John Thomson, and professor at Aberdeen, London, and Cambridge Universities. 

J. J. Thomson was awarded the 1906 Nobel Prize in physics for his discovery of the electron, using an experimental method that demonstrated the particle nature of the electron. His son, George Paget Thomson, shared the 1937 Nobel Prize in physics for work that demonstrated the wave nature of the electron. 

Thomson met Rose Paget in 1889 when, as one of the first women to be allowed to conduct advanced work at Cambridge, she attended some of his lectures. They married on Januaiy 22, 1890, and had two children a son, George, and a daughter, Joan. The marriage was a long and happy one.
