The materialization of energy takes place in the process:
Correct answer: A. Annihilation
- A. Annihilation
- B. Pair production
- C. Compton effect
- D. Photoelectric effect
Explanation
The term "materialization of energy" is often used to describe the process of annihilation of matter, where particles and their corresponding antiparticles come into contact and are transformed into energy. In particular, the most common example is the annihilation of an electron with its antiparticle, a positron.

About Dawn of Modern Physics
Classical physics cannot explain blackbody radiation and related observations, leading to Planck’s quantum theory, in which energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete packets. Photons provide the particle model of light, with energy and momentum linked to frequency and wavelength, including the photoelectric effect and its threshold frequency.
