Question 16

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: The beam of electrons shows wave nature and exhibit interference and diffraction.
Reason R: Davisson Germer Experimentally verified the wave nature of electrons.
In the light of the above statements. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Assertion A: Electrons exhibit wave nature, showing interference and diffraction patterns. This is TRUE, as demonstrated experimentally.

Reason R: The Davisson-Germer experiment (1927) confirmed the wave nature of electrons by observing diffraction of an electron beam from a nickel crystal. This is TRUE and directly verifies the assertion.

Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A, since the Davisson-Germer experiment provided the experimental verification of the wave nature of electrons stated in A.
