Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion (A): The Davisson-Germer experiment demonstrated the wave nature of electrons. | Reason (R): The experiment measured the diffraction pattern of electrons reflected from a nickel crystal surface.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.
