He also discovered the photoelectric effect when he noticed that the charged object loses its charge quickly when illuminated by ultraviolet radiation. It was later explained by Albert Einstein.
He also started experimenting with cathode rays. He discovered that cathode rays can penetrate in thin\ metal foil. He developed a version of a cathode tube and worked on X-rays of different materials. But he never practically worked on actual 0020X rays.
