For which phenomenon did Laughlin provide the first many body wave function?

  • double slit experiment

  • photoelectric effect

  • fractional quantum Hall effect

  • Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

Answer

The fractional quantum Hall effect is a phenomenon observed in two-dimensional electron systems at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. It is characterized by the emergence of fractional quantized Hall plateaus in the Hall resistance, indicating the presence of quasiparticles with fractional charge and statistics.
