About This Quiz

It's another sceince orinciplp that is very interesting. So, we decided to focus oni ir today. Can you go a few questions on it and check if you properly know it.

2.

The angular momentum value of fermions is
- H
- H/2
- H/3
- H/4
Correct Answer

A. H/2

Explanation

The angular momentum value of fermions is h/2. This is because fermions are particles that follow Fermi-Dirac statistics, which dictate that their angular momentum can only take on half-integer values. The symbol "h" represents Planck's constant, which is a fundamental constant in quantum mechanics. Therefore, the correct answer is h/2, as it aligns with the properties and behavior of fermions.

3.

What's the name of the principle's creator?
- Andre Pauli
- Wolfgang Pauli
- William Pauli
- Thomas Pauli
Correct Answer

A. Wolfgang Pauli

Explanation

Wolfgang Pauli is the correct answer because he is the creator of the principle.

Rate this question:
4.

The principle was first created when?
- 1915
- 1945
- 1978
- 1925
Correct Answer

A. 1925
5.

When did Pauli start working towards the principle?
- 1921
- 1924
- 1923
- 1922
Correct Answer

A. 1924

Explanation

Pauli started working towards the principle in 1924.

Rate this question:
6.

Pauli was born where?
- Sweden
- Poland
- Austria
- America
Correct Answer

A. Austria

Explanation

Pauli was born in Austria.

Rate this question:
7.

Which of the following can't be explained with the principle?
- Bosons
- Burson
- Bronson
- Bosom atom
Correct Answer

A. Bosons

Explanation

Bosons can be explained with the principle, as they are a type of elementary particle that follows Bose-Einstein statistics. The principle refers to the behavior of particles with integer spin, such as bosons. Therefore, the correct answer is not applicable in this case.

8.

Whilst creating the principle, Pauli was also busy with?
- Zeeman effect
- Ferromagnetism
- Spectroscopy
- Atomatization
Correct Answer

A. Zeeman effect

Explanation

Pauli was busy with the Zeeman effect while creating the principle. The Zeeman effect refers to the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of a magnetic field. This phenomenon was discovered by Pieter Zeeman in 1896 and is named after him. Pauli, on the other hand, is known for his contributions to quantum mechanics, particularly the Pauli exclusion principle. Although the question does not provide much context, it suggests that Pauli was involved with the Zeeman effect during his work on the principle.

Rate this question:
9.

When did he extend the principle to all fermions?
- 1930
- 1920
- 1950
- 1940
Correct Answer

A. 1940
10.

Pauli found a clue to the principle by?
- Researching with molecules
- Newspaper
- Experimentation
- Dreams
Correct Answer

A. Newspaper

Explanation

Pauli found a clue to the principle by reading a newspaper. Newspapers often contain information about current events, scientific discoveries, and various other topics. It is possible that Pauli came across an article or news story in the newspaper that provided a clue or hint about the principle he was researching. Newspapers can be a valuable source of information and can lead to new insights and discoveries.
