In Davisson-Germer experiment, the diffracted electron beam from crystal shows
Correct answer: C. Wave property
- A. Particle property
- B. Light property
- C. Wave property
- D. Quantum property
Explanation
Diffracted electron beam from crystal shows wave nature. Davisson Germer experiment showed that electron beams can undergo diffraction when passed through atomic crystals. This shows the wave nature of electrons as waves can exhibit interference and diffraction.

About Dawn of Modern Physics
Classical physics cannot explain blackbody radiation and related observations, leading to Planck’s quantum theory, in which energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete packets. Photons provide the particle model of light, with energy and momentum linked to frequency and wavelength, including the photoelectric effect and its threshold frequency.
