Twin paradox is consequence of?
Correct answer: A. Time dilation
- A. Time dilation
- B. Mass dilation
- C. Length dilation
- D. None of these
Explanation
The twin paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity that explores the consequences of time dilation. It involves two identical twins, one of whom travels at a high speed relative to the other. When the traveling twin returns, they will be younger than the twin who stayed on Earth.This difference in age is a direct result of time dilation, which states that time passes more slowly for an object that is moving relative to an observer. The twin who traveled at high speed experienced time dilation, causing them to age more slowly than the twin who remained on Earth.

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.
