NEET Physics Davisson-Germer Experiment Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12

Assertion (A): The Davisson-Germer experiment demonstrated the wave nature of electrons. | Reason (R): The experiment showed that electrons exhibit interference patterns similar to waves when scattered by a crystal.

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 but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The Davisson-Germer experiment confirmed the wave nature of electrons by showing interference patterns when electrons were scattered by a crystal lattice, consistent with wave behavior.
