Solution
The correct option is D Diffraction of electron by a crystal
The Davisson-Germer experiment demonstrated the wave nature of the electron, confirming the earlier hypothesis of de Broglie. Putting wave-particle duality on a firm experimental footing, it represented a major step forward in the development of quantum mechanics. The Bragg law for diffraction had been applied to x-ray diffraction, but this was the first application to particle waves.
