Context triple: [Max Delbrück, knownFor, Luria–Delbrück experiment]
  • A. Koch's postulates
    Koch's postulates are a set of criteria formulated in the late 19th century to establish a causal relationship between a specific microorganism and a particular disease.
  • B. Cockcroft–Walton experiment
    The Cockcroft–Walton experiment was a pioneering 1932 nuclear physics experiment that achieved the first artificial disintegration of atomic nuclei using accelerated protons, confirming Einstein’s mass–energy equivalence.
  • C. Ives–Stilwell experiment
    The Ives–Stilwell experiment is a classic test of special relativity that measured the relativistic Doppler effect to confirm time dilation for fast-moving ions.
  • D. Max Delbrück
    Max Delbrück was a German-American biophysicist and Nobel Prize–winning pioneer of molecular genetics whose work on bacteriophages helped establish the foundations of modern molecular biology.
  • E. Trouton–Noble experiment
    The Trouton–Noble experiment was an early 20th-century test of the luminiferous aether that searched for a torque on a charged capacitor in motion and, by finding no such effect, provided support for the emerging theory of special relativity.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
