MCQ
Einstein was awarded Noble prize for:
- AThe general theory of relativity
- BThe special theory of relativity
- ✓The explanation of photoelectric effect
- DThe explanation of quantum theory
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
The explanation of photoelectric effect
Einstein proposed the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity. Also, he gave a explanation to quantum theory. According to Nobel committee other theories were in controversy.
The classical theory could not explain photoelectric effect satisfactorily. The photoelectric equation given by Einstein explains photoelectric effect satisfactorily.
Hence, Einstein was awarded Noble prize for the explanation of photoelectric effect.
