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 options given below:
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 options given below:
- (A)Both Statement I and Statement II are true✓ Correct
- (B)Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- (C)Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- (D)Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer: (A)
Solution
Statement I is correct: The Davisson-Germer experiment demonstrated electron diffraction, thereby establishing the wave nature of electrons.
Statement II is also correct: Wave nature implies the ability to undergo interference and diffraction, which are characteristic wave phenomena.
Both statements are true.
Statement II is also correct: Wave nature implies the ability to undergo interference and diffraction, which are characteristic wave phenomena.
Both statements are true.
