Solution

By using an electron gun heated by a low power supply, electron beams were emitted at the desired velocity by applying suitable potential difference from a high voltage power supply. These electrons were made to pass through a cylinder with fine holes thus forming a finely collimated beam. Then this collimated beam was made to fall on the surface of a nickel target which led to the scattering of electrons in various directions. The nickel target was rotated to observe the scattered electron. The detector was mounted on an arc to observe electrons at different angles which could be rotated in a circular movement. It was noted that the deflected electrons pattern was similar to the diffraction of waves. Also, it was noted that at certain angles the intensity of scattered electrons was high at a voltage of 54V and at a scattering angle of 50o.
