THE TUESDAY TOAST - S02E05

Yo peeps! We are back again with The Tuesday Toast!!! 

Get ready for some interesting physics facts! Give it a GO.

1. Ever since the first Nobel Prizes were distributed, only one person has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics twice. The second Nobel Prize was awarded to this physicist for developing a theory which has important applications in Nuclear Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Name the person.

Options: 

1. Werner Heisenberg 

2. John Bardeen

3.  Marie Curie

4. Edward Mills Purcell

2. In 1889, King Oscar II of Sweden held a competition offering a prize to anyone who would be able to give a solution to the three-body problem. A French mathematician won the competition by proving that the results of such problems are random. This discovery also gave rise to a new field of research. Identify the winner of the prize and the new field of research.

            Options:

1.  Leonhard Euler - Euler's three body problem

2. Lagrange- Lagrangian Points

3. Meissel - Pythagorean three body problem

4.  Henri Poincare- Chaos Theory

3. The first ever image of a black hole was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope and was released in 2019. This blackhole was a supermassive blackhole, located at the centre of a distant galaxy. What is the name of the galaxy?

            Options: 

1. NGC 1277

2. Hen 2-10

3. Messier 87

4. Pictor A

4. Name the European Radio telescope network  operating at the lowest frequencies which is used to detect the bright flash in low-frequency radio waves caused by charged particles being accelerated while a planet is orbiting a rotating star.

Options:

1. Torun RT4 32 m

2. Northern Cross Radio Telescope

3. Low Frequency Array (LOFAR)

4. RT-32

5. Name the scientist who observed that the process of boring cannon produced a lot of heat, especially when the drill was dull and showed that the heat produced was related to the amount of mechanical work done by the drill.

            Options:

1.  Count Rumford

2. Antoine Lavoisier

3. Sadi Carnot

4. Isaac Newton
