This question has statement 1 and statement 2 . Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements Statement 1 : Davisson - germer experiment established the wave nature of electrons. Statement 2 : If electrons have wave nature, they can interfere and show diffraction.

Options

  1. AStatement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
  2. BStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false
  3. CStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is the correct explanation for statement 1
  4. DStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for statement 1 .

Correct answer

C. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is the correct explanation for statement 1

Step-by-step solution

Davisson - Germer experiment showed that electron beams can undergo diffraction when passed through atomic crystals. This shows the wave nature of electrons as waves can exhibit interference and diffraction.
