Key Points

F1 J.K Madhu 22.05.20 D10

  • Davison Germer experiment was conducted in 1927 to study the wave nature of the electron.
  • The electrons are emitted by an electron gun and are accelerated by applying a suitable potential difference between anode and cathode.
  • The finely collimated beam is directed towards the Ni crystal.
  • The scattered electrons are collected using a movable detector and a graph is plotted between applied potential and angle of reflection.
  • Analysis of those graphs showed the wave nature of the electron.

So, the correct option is like wave.
