The number of people attending a concert is a quantized
variable. There is a smallest value - one person, and all
possible values are integer multiples of that smallest value.
The discovery of the electron is credited to which
experiment?

....... B) JJ Thompson's Cathode Ray Tube Experiment
True or False: Max Planck proposed that a blackbody is
made up of tiny oscillators. ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER .......
True
- He proposed that a blackbody is made up of tiny oscillators
(atoms or groups of atoms) and that these oscillators can
only give off energy when their own energy changes by
certain amounts.
- Frequency of their vibration depends on the temperature of
black body. More the temperature of black body, more the
frequency of oscillation of tiny oscillators.
- Energy from the oscillator is quantized
