Question

What happens when an experiment with new information or new technology produces results that support an existing theory? the theory is considered proven. the theory is revised or updated. the theory becomes a law. the evidence is ignored and thrown away.

Answer 1

The Answer is: B. The theory is revised or updated.

Answer 2

The theory is revised or updated. It may strengthen; however, cannot become a law. The "catch" with theories is that they may be disproven at any point in time by experimental results that contradict them. Therefore, they cannot become a law by just one additional supporting experiment.
