With which of the following theories is the formula E=mc2 most closely associated?
A
Relativity
B
Ohm’s Law
C
Planck’s Law
D
The Blackbody Effect
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -E = mc2, equation in German-born physicist Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity that expresses the fact that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Einstein went on to present his findings mathematically: energy (E) equals mass (m) times the speed of light (c) squared (2), or E=mc2. The secret the equation revealed-that mass and energy are different forms of the same thing-had eluded scientists for centuries.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to scientific folklore, Albert Einstein formulated this equation in 1905 and, in a single blow, explained how energy can be released in stars and nuclear explosions.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to the theory of general relativity, matter causes space to curve. It is posited that gravitation is not a force, as understood by Newtonian physics, but a curved field (an area of space under the influence of a force) in the space-time continuum that is actually created by the presence of mass.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: Albert Einstein is one of the most influential physicists in the 20th century. In 1905 Einstein published four landmark papers in physics – on the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, the special theory of relativity and equivalence of matter and energy (E=mc2).
