Davisson-Germer experiment confirmed electron:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

The **Davisson-Germer experiment** (1927) was a landmark in quantum mechanics.
- They fired a beam of electrons at a Nickel crystal and observed that the electrons scattered in specific directions, creating a **Diffraction Pattern**.
- Since diffraction is a wave property, this provided the first direct experimental confirmation of de Broglie's hypothesis that matter has wave characteristics.
