oil-drop experiment

Target entity: oil-drop experiment
Context triple: [Robert A. Millikan, knownFor, oil-drop experiment]

• A. Trouton–Noble experiment
  The Trouton–Noble experiment was an early 20th-century test of the luminiferous aether that searched for a torque on a charged capacitor in motion and, by finding no such effect, provided support for the emerging theory of special relativity.
• B. Franck–Hertz experiment
  The Franck–Hertz experiment is a landmark early-20th-century physics experiment that provided direct evidence for the quantization of atomic energy levels, supporting the Bohr model of the atom.
• C. Cavendish experiment
  The Cavendish experiment was an 18th-century physics experiment by Henry Cavendish that measured the tiny gravitational attraction between lead spheres, allowing the first calculation of the gravitational constant and the mass of the Earth.
• D. Cockcroft–Walton experiment
  The Cockcroft–Walton experiment was a pioneering 1932 nuclear physics experiment that achieved the first artificial disintegration of atomic nuclei using accelerated protons, confirming Einstein’s mass–energy equivalence.
• E. Eötvös experiment
  The Eötvös experiment is a classic physics test of the equivalence principle that measures whether different materials fall with the same acceleration in a gravitational field.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity description: The oil-drop experiment was a landmark early 20th-century physics experiment that measured the elementary electric charge of the electron by observing tiny charged oil droplets suspended in an electric field.
