Q.46-50)

Read RC Passage to Answer:

Marie Curie was a Polish-born physicist and chemist and one of the most famous scientists of her time. Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered radium, an element widely used for treating cancer, and studied uranium and other radioactive substances. Pierre and Marie’s amicable collaboration later helped to unlock the secrets of the atom. Together with her husband Pierre, she was awarded the Noble Prize for Physics in 1903.

Marie was born in Warsaw, Poland on 7 November 1867, the daughter of a Physics teacher. At an early age, she displayed a brilliant mind and a blithe personality. Her great exuberance for learning prompted her to continue with her studies after high school. She became disgruntled, however, when she learned that the university in Warsaw was closed to women. Determined to receive a higher education, she defiantly left Poland and in 1891 entered the Sorbonne, a French University, where she earned her master’s degree and doctorate in Physics.

Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest scientists of her day, one of whom was Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre were married in 1895 and spent many productive years working together in the physics laboratory. A short time after they discovered radium, Pierre was killed by a horse-drawn wagon in 1906. Marie was stunned by the horrible misfortune and endured heartbreaking anguish. Despondently, she recalled their close relationship and the joy that they had shared in scientific research. The fact that that she had two young daughters to raise by herself greatly increased her distress.

Curie’s feeling of desolation finally began to fade when she was asked to succeed her husband as a Physics professor at the Sorbonne. She was the firstwoman to be given a professorship at the world- famous university. She received her second Noble Prize in Chemist for isolating radium, in 1911 Curie eldest daughter, Irene, was herself a scientist and winner of the Noble Prize for Chemistry.

Although Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illness from her long term exposure to radium, she never became disillusioned about her work. Regardless of the consequences, she had dedicated herself to science and to revealing the mysteries of the physical world.
