Question

Arrange the following events in an increasing order (calendar year)

(A) Nobel Prize in Physics for Photoelectric Effect
(B) Nobel Prize in Chemistry for Quantum Dots synthesis and Applications
(C) Nobel Prize for the invention of Scanning Tunneling Electron Microscope
(D) Nobel Prize to Max Planck for his Quantum Theory
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B), (C), (D).
• B. (A), (D), (C), (B).
• C. (D), (A), (C), (B).
• D. (C), (B), (D), (A).

Hint:

The Nobel Prize timeline: Planck (1918) → Einstein (1921) → Binnig/Rohrer (1986) → Quantum Dots (2022).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Date of Nobel Prizes.
- Max Planck received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 for his quantum theory.
- Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for the Photoelectric Effect.
- Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986 for the invention of the Scanning Tunneling Electron Microscope.
- Nobel Prize in Chemistry for Quantum Dots synthesis and applications was awarded to Alivisatos, Brus, and Moroz in 2022.
Step 2: Conclusion.
The increasing order of events (in terms of calendar years) is: \[ \text{Max Planck (D)} \rightarrow \text{Einstein (A)} \rightarrow \text{Binnig and Rohrer (C)} \rightarrow \text{Quantum Dots (B)} \]
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(D), (A), (C), (B)}} \]
