For Michelson-Morley experiment, which option best applies turning-point evidence to Explain the significance of the null result.?.

  1. A.Use the electron diffraction tube: rings show wave behaviour of accelerated electrons, so the answer tests diffraction pattern.
  2. B.Use a classical formula label without connecting it to the experimental evidence.
  3. C.Describe the apparatus only and omit the physical conclusion drawn from the result.
  4. D.Treat the effect as ordinary circuit behaviour rather than a turning-point physics idea.

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • The correct option is Use the electron diffraction tube: rings show wave behaviour of accelerated electrons, so the answer tests diffraction pattern.

Explanation

Why this works

It is correct because it links the named experiment or model change to the physical evidence and conclusion. The other options are incorrect because they quote a formula without interpretation, describe apparatus without the conclusion, or reduce the turning-point idea to ordinary circuit or force behaviour.
