Correct Answer: Geiger and Nuttall


Solution : The correct answer is Geiger and Nuttall.

Geiger and Nuttall found an empirical link between the alpha decay half-life and the energy of the released alpha particles in 1911. This connection, known as the Geiger-Nuttall law or Geiger-Nuttall rule, contributed significantly to our understanding of the behaviour of alpha decay and the properties of alpha particles generated during radioactive decay.
