Questions and Answers

Max Planck's quote suggests that the introduction of quantum theory resulted in:

the obsolescence of all prior physics research and discoveries.

a temporary disruption in physics that ultimately returned to classical models.

a significant refinement and expansion of the existing physics framework. (correct)

a complete dismantling of classical physics principles.

Planck's calculations primarily focused on the relationship between which two concepts, leading to quantum theory?

electricity and magnetism.

matter and antimatter.

light and energy. (correct)

gravity and spacetime.

The phrase 'a new era in physics' in relation to quantum theory implies:

a brief period of adjustment before physics reverted to established theories.

a minor update to existing physics knowledge, with minimal long-term impact.

a fundamental and lasting shift in the understanding and study of the physical world. (correct)

a controversial phase in physics that was eventually superseded by more classical approaches.
