Hugo Fricke (August 15, 1892, in Aarhus, Denmark – April 5, 1972, in Huntington, New York, US) was a Danish-American physicist who studied the chemical (radiolysis) and biological (radiation biology) effects of X-ray and electron beams and who also invented the Fricke dosimeter named after him. He also made important contributions to the theory of impedance measurements.
