MCQ
Albert Einstein got a nobel prize in physics for his work on:
  • A
    Special theory of relativity
  • B
    General theory of relativity
  • C
    Photoelectric effect
  • D
    Theory of specific heats

Answer

  1. Photoelectric effect

Explanation:

In 1905, Albert Einstein extended Planck's hypothesis to explain the photoelectric effect, which is the emission of electrons by a metal surface when it is irradiated by light or more-energetic photons.
