Braxton Bragg

Examples of Braxton Bragg in the following topics:

• The Battle of Chattanooga

  • Rosecrans, executed a series of maneuvers that forced Confederate General Braxton Bragg and his Army of Tennessee to abandon Chattanooga and withdraw into northern Georgia.
  • Bragg's army besieged the city, threatening to starve the Union forces into surrender.
  • Sherman's attack on Bragg's right flank made little progress.
  • Braxton Bragg (right), commanding generals of the Chattanooga Campaign
  • Explain the importance of Chattanooga, and the sequence of events between Generals Bragg and Rosecrans

• Union Victories in the Western Theater

  • Braxton Bragg took command of 56,000 troops of the Army of Tennessee.
  • Bragg's general plan was to invade Kentucky, cut Union lines of communications, and then turn back to defeat Grant.
  • However, after some small successes, Bragg realized that he was outnumbered and retreated through the Cumberland Gap, returning to Murfreesboro by way of Chattanooga.
  • Bragg was relieved of duty and replaced by General Joseph E.
  • Identify the battles fought by Generals Johnston, Bragg, Hood, Sherman, Rosecrans, and Grant in the Western Theater of the Civil War.

• The Battles: 1863–1865

  • General Braxton Bragg defeated Union troops, who retreated to Chattanooga, which Bragg then besieged.
  • Grant marched to the relief of troops in Chattanooga and defeated Bragg at the Third Battle of Chattanooga, driving Confederate forces out of Tennessee and opening a route to Atlanta and the heart of the Confederacy.

• Onset of Labor

  • The term false labor is sometimes used to describe a cluster of Braxton Hicks contractions that are mistaken for real labor.
  • In contrast, Braxton Hicks contractions should be infrequent, irregular, and involve only mild cramping.

• X-Ray Diffraction

  • In x-ray crystallography, the term for diffraction is Bragg diffraction, which is the scattering of waves from a crystalline structure.
  • William Lawrence Bragg formulated the equation for Bragg's law, which relates wavelength to the angle of incidence and lattice spacing.

• X-Ray Spectra: Origins, Diffraction by Crystals, and Importance

  • Shown below, Bragg's Law gives the angles for coherent and incoherent scattering of light from a crystal lattice, which happens during x-ray diffraction.
  • This is called the Braggs diffraction, and is the basis for x-ray diffraction.
  • Bragg's Law of diffraction: illustration of how x-rays interact with crystal lattice.

• The de Broglie Wavelength

  • The angular dependence of the reflected electron intensity was measured and was determined to have the same diffraction pattern as those predicted by Bragg for X-rays.
  • When the de Broglie wavelength was inserted into the Bragg condition, the observed diffraction pattern was predicted, thereby experimentally confirming the de Broglie hypothesis for electrons.
  • Using Bragg diffraction of atoms and a Ramsey interferometry technique, the de Broglie wavelength of cold sodium atoms was explicitly measured and found to be consistent with the temperature measured by a different method.

• Leptospirosis

  • Leptospirosis (also known as Weil's Syndrome, canicola fever, canefield fever, nanukayami fever, 7-day fever, Rat Catcher's Yellows, Fort Bragg fever, black jaundice, and Pretibial fever) is caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira, and affects humans as well as other animals.

• X-Ray Diffraction Analysis

  • At certain angles of the sensor, populations of crystals have the correct angle so that Bragg's equation is satisfied for one of the crystal planes, resulting in a spike in X-rays.

• Photon Energies of the EM Spectrum

  • However, in 1910, British physicist William Henry Bragg demonstrated that gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation, not particles.
