Q:1 The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Bawendi, Brus and Ekimov

Mounting G Bawendi, Louis E Brus and Alexei. I. Ekimov has been conferred with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023 for their groundbreaking work on quantum dots. Quantum Dots are nanoparticles so tiny that their size determines their properties. The Nobel Laureates in Chemistry 2023 have succeeded in producing particles so small that their properties are determined by Quantum phenomena.

 

Q:2 The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Pierre Agostini, French Krausz and Anne L'Huillier

Scientists Pierre Agostini, French Krausz and Anne L'Huillier won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter. The Prize was raised this year to 11 million Swedish crowns and is awarded by Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

 

Q:3 The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman

Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman have been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology/ Medicine for their discoveries in Nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of mRNA vaccines against the Covid 19. The vaccines have saved millions of lives and prevented severe diseases.

 

Q:4 The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Harold C Urey

The discovery of the hydrogen isotope known as deuterium, or heavy hydrogen, is credited to Harold Urey.

Harold Urey's work on deuterium earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1934.

Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen with one proton and one neutron in its nucleus, in contrast to the more common hydrogen isotope, which has no neutrons.

Urey's research on isotopes, particularly deuterium, made significant contributions to our understanding of atomic structure and the behavior of elements, earning him recognition with the Nobel Prize.

 

Q:5 The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Both 1 and 2

The Nobel Peace Prize in the world was first awarded in 1901 to Frederick Passy of Switzerland and Jean Henri Dunant of France.

Q:7 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Peter Debye

Peter Debye was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1936 for his contributions to our knowledge of molecular structure through his investigations on dipole moments and the diffraction of X-rays and electrons in gases.

 

Q:8 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. C.V. Raman

C.V. Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930.

He was an Indian physicist known for his work in the field of light scattering.

He and his student K.S. Krishnan discovered that when light traverses a transparent material, the deflected light changes its wavelength and frequency.

This phenomenon, a hitherto unknown type of scattering of light, which they called 'modified scattering' was subsequently termed the Raman effect or Raman scattering.

He received the Nobel Prize for this discovery.

 

Q:9 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 1901

The first Nobel Prize Award Ceremony was in 1901 at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm.

In 1901, the first Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine and Literature were first awarded in Stockholm, Sweden and the Peace Prize in Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway.

 

Q:10 The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Iran, Russia and Belarus

The Nobel Foundation recently withdrew its invitation for representatives of Russia, Belarus and Iran to attend this year's Nobel Prize award ceremonies. Swedish lawmakers said they would boycott this year's Nobel Prize Award ceremonies in the Swedish capital, Stockholm. Lawmakers cited Russia's war on Ukraine and crackdown on Human rights in Iran as reasons for their boycott.

 

So that's it for today. General Awareness subject matters are generally important. We'll go over another topic of General Awareness later. Until then, you can practice the questions by downloading the Nobel Prize PDF.
