Target entity: Stern–Gerlach experiment
Context triple: [Stern–Gerlach Medal, namedAfterExperiment, Stern–Gerlach experiment]
  • A. Franck–Hertz experiment
    The Franck–Hertz experiment is a landmark early-20th-century physics experiment that provided direct evidence for the quantization of atomic energy levels, supporting the Bohr model of the atom.
  • B. Davisson–Germer experiment
    The Davisson–Germer experiment was a landmark 1927 physics experiment that demonstrated the wave nature of electrons through diffraction from a nickel crystal, providing key evidence for quantum mechanics and wave–particle duality.
  • 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. Eötvös experiment
    The Eötvös experiment is a classic physics test of the equivalence principle that measures whether different materials fall with the same acceleration in a gravitational field.
  • E. Foucault experiment
    The Foucault experiment is a 19th-century optical test devised by Léon Foucault to measure the speed of light with high precision using a rotating mirror apparatus.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
