8

What was Plank's understanding of the significance of his work on blackbody radiation?

he was afraid to publish it for fear of losing his reputation
he eventually convinced his dissertation committee that the theory was correct
the thought it was some sort of mathematical trick
he knew it would someday win him a Nobel prize

9

What was "spooky" about Taylor's 1909 experiment with wave interference?

The light was so dim that the photoelectric effect couldn't occur
The light was dim, but it didn't matter because he was blind.
The light was so dim that only one photon at a time was near the slits.
The interference pattern mysteriously disappeared.

10

How does the Bohr atom differ from Newton's theory of planetary orbits?

The force between proton and electron is not attractive for the atom, but it is for planets and the sun.
The force between planets and the sun is not attractive for the atom, but it is for proton and electron.
planets make elliptical orbits while the electron makes circular orbits
electrons make elliptical orbits while planets make circular orbits
