MCQ
Einstein's theory of relativity is based on:
- APhotoelectrons absorb and emit photons
- BThe velocity of light is the same for all observers
- CMass and energy are intra- convertible
- DEnergy and momentum are conserved
✓
Answer
- 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.
