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 : It electrons have wave nature, they can interfere and show diffraction.
Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true and the correct explanation for statement 1
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not the correct explanation
for statement 1.
Davisson-Germer's 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.
Correct option is
Any wave will show interference and the diffraction and the interference pattern of an electron were observed during Davisson and Germer experiment hence it establishes the wave nature of the electron.
