Q. In the context of relativity, what does the term 'proper time' refer to?
A.
Time measured by a stationary observer
B.
Time measured by an observer in motion
C.
Time experienced by an object in free fall
D.
Time measured in a gravitational field
Solution
Proper time is the time interval measured by a clock that is at rest relative to the events being timed, typically experienced by an observer in their own frame of reference.
Correct Answer:
A
— Time measured by a stationary observer
Q. What phenomenon does the photoelectric effect demonstrate?
A.
Wave-particle duality
B.
Quantum entanglement
C.
Nuclear fission
D.
Thermal expansion
Solution
The photoelectric effect demonstrates wave-particle duality, showing that light can behave as both a wave and a particle, as it can eject electrons from a material when it strikes it.
