Question
Physics Question on Dual nature of radiation and matter
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 :
A
Both statement I and statement II are true.
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
Both statement I and statement II are true.
Explanation
Solution
Davisson-Germer experiment is done and establishes the wave nature of electrons. Interference and diffraction establishes wave nature.
So, the correct option is (A): Both statement I and statement II are true.
