Given below are two statements : Statement I : Davisson-Germer...
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Davisson-Germer experiment establishes the wave nature of electrons.
Statement II : If electrons have wave nature, they can interfere and show diffraction.
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the option given below :
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true.
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false.
- CStatement I is true but Statement II is false.
- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true.
Correct answer
A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Step-by-step solution
In Davisson–Germer experiment, the high speed electrons are incident on crystal and they get diffracted just like a wave. So wave nature of electron was experimentally observed in this experiment.
