    A attosecond pulses of light Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Carbon Atom Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Greenhouse Effect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three physicists for their research into attosecond pulses of light Attosecond: An attosecond is an astonishingly short unit of time, equivalent to one quintillionth of a second (1×10−18 of a second) or one-billionth of a nanosecond The fundamental significance of attoseconds in physics lies in their ability to shed light on phenomena that were previously hidden from our view
