DeBroglie's idea that electrons are really waves was first tested by
(A) generating and detecting the waves.
(B) single slit diffraction.
(C) a two-slit interference experiment.
(D) scattering electrons from a crystal.
DeBroglie's idea that electrons are really waves was first tested by
(A) generating and detecting the waves.
No. --- Electrons already are waves.
They do not need to be generated.
DeBroglie's idea that electrons are really waves was first tested by
(B) single slit diffraction.
No. --- The slit needs to be really narrow
or the electrons need to be really slow.
DeBroglie's idea that electrons are really waves was first tested by
(C) a two-slit interference experiment.
No. --- The slits need to be too close
together for the available electron energies.
DeBroglie's idea that electrons are really waves was first tested by
(D) scattering electrons from a crystal.
Yes. --- Davisson & Germer scattered
electrons from a nickel crystal surface.
