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

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true.
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false.
  3. CStatement I is true but Statement II is false.
  4. 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 NiNi crystal and they get diffracted just like a wave. So wave nature of electron was experimentally observed in this experiment.
