MCQ
Einstein's theory of relativity is based on:
  • A
    Photoelectrons absorb and emit photons
  • B
    The velocity of light is the same for all observers
  • C
    Mass and energy are intra- convertible
  • D
    Energy and momentum are conserved

Answer

  1. The velocity of light is the same for all observers

Explanation:

The main postulate of Einstein's special theory of relativity is that the speed of light is constant and equal to c in all the inertial frames i.e the velocity of light is same for all observers.
