Solution

The correct option is A diffraction
G.P. Thomson experimentally confirmed the existence of matter waves (de Broglie's hypothesis) by demonstrating that electron beams are diffracted when they are scattered by the regular atomic rays of crystals.

Q. The existence of charge on colloidal particles is confirmed by which experiment?

Dual nature of matter was proposed by de Broglie in 1923, it was experimentally verified by Davisson and Germer by diffraction experiment. Wave character of matter has significance only for microscopic particles. de Broglie wavelength or wavelength of matter wave can be calculated using the following relation:

λ = \frac{h}{m v}
