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.
