Here are the answers to the questions based on the reading passage:
1. What do you know about the early life of Albert Einstein?
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany. His father was an electrical engineer and his mother was a musician who taught him music. He did not speak until he was two years old. When he was six, his father gave him a compass, which made him very curious. He went to high school in Munich and later moved to Zurich, Switzerland.
2. Where did Einstein job?
*(Note: The question likely means "Where did Einstein work?")*
Einstein worked at the
Swiss Patent Office, where he examined patents for people's inventions. Later in his life, he worked as the director of the
Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
3. Why the year 1905 was a remarkable year for Einstein?
The year 1905 was remarkable because Einstein published three outstanding papers that changed science:
1. One paper outlined his photoelectric law (about how light behaves).
2. The second paper explored the relationship between mass and energy (his most famous paper).
3. The third paper was on the Special Theory of Relativity, concluding that the speed of light is always the same.
4. What was Einstein’s major work?
Einstein developed the
general theory of relativity, which is considered one of the two pillars of modern physics. He is also very famous for his work on the relationship between mass and energy and the Special Theory of Relativity.
