Question

Statement $1:$ Davisson-Germer experiment established the wave nature of electrons.

Statement $2:$ If electrons have wavelength, they can exhibit interference and diffraction.

• A. Statement $1$ is false, Statement $2$ is true.
• B. Both statements are false.
• C. Both statements are true and Statement $2$ is the correct explanation of Statement $1$
• D. Both statements are true and Statement $2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement $1$

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both statements are true and Statement $2$ is the correct explanation of Statement $1$

Both statements are true.
The fact that electrons $\left(e^{-}\right)$ show wave properties as well, like diffraction and interference was first proved by Davisson-Germer experiment.

Hence, $\left(C\right)$ is the correct answer.
