Charles Glover Barkla (1877–1944) was a British physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1917 for his discovery of characteristic X-rays emitted by elements. He made pioneering contributions to the study of X-ray scattering and absorption, and was a professor at the University of Edinburgh. Barkla was known for his meticulous experimental work and his strong commitment to classical physics, often resisting quantum mechanical interpretations.
