Solution

Correct Answer:

Wave nature via diffraction

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.

This hard difficulty physics question is from the chapter dual nature of radiation and matter, covering the topic of davisson-germer hard. It appeared in the 2025 exam.
