How much can a researcher earn in countires like US,UK, or other european countries & is it necessary to become a professor or a teacher in physics ?

If you want to be a "researcher," an overseer of research, you'll need a Ph.D. You can participate in many research projects with less education in simpler roles, however.

Salaries vary wildly, yet are almost always less than those offered by private industry.
