Edward Appleton

Edward Appleton (Edward Victor Appleton) a British physicist, professor, administrator.

Nobel Prize recipient in Physics for his discovery of the Appleton layer, a region of the ionosphere that reflects radio waves, enabling long-distance communication.

His work confirmed the ionosphere’s existence and its role in radio propagation.

He conducted pioneering experiments in the 1920s, using radio signals to measure the height of the ionospheric layer, which varies with solar activity.

Appleton was also a key figure in radar development during World War II and held academic positions at Cambridge and Edinburgh.

Edward Appleton research laid foundational work for modern telecommunications and space science.
