Question

Which theory is confirmed by the Davisson – Germer experiment?

(a) de – Broglie theory

(b) Newton’s theory

(c) Einstein’s theory

(d) Planck’s theory

The question was asked during an interview for a job.

My question is taken from Davisson and Germer Experiment in division Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) de – Broglie theory

Best explanation: Davisson and Germer experiment proves the concept of wave nature of matter particles. The Davisson–Germer experiment provides a critically important confirmation of the de-Broglie hypothesis, which said that particles, such as electrons, are of dual nature.
