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: Nobel Prize Dates.
- Max Planck received the Physics Nobel in 1918 (quantum theory).
- Albert Einstein won the Physics Nobel in 1921 (Photoelectric Effect).
- Binnig and Rohrer won the Physics Nobel in 1986 (Scanning Tunneling Electron Microscope).
- Alivisatos, Brus, and Moroz received the Chemistry Nobel in 2022 (Quantum Dots).
Step 2: Conclusion.
The chronological order of events: \[\text{Max Planck (D)} \rightarrow \text{Einstein (A)} \rightarrow \text{Binnig and Rohrer (C)} \rightarrow \text{Quantum Dots (B)}\]
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(D), (A), (C), (B)}} \]
