NEET Physics Davisson-Germer Experiment Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12

Assertion (A): The Davisson-Germer experiment provided direct evidence for the wave nature of electrons. | Reason (R): The experiment demonstrated that electrons exhibit speeds ranging from 0.1 to 0.2 times the speed of light.

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.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The Davisson-Germer experiment confirmed the wave nature of electrons, but the speeds mentioned relate to cathode ray particles, not the explanation for wave behavior.
