Which phenomenon best supports the theory that matter has a wave nature?

A

Electron momentum

B

Electron diffraction

C

Photon momentum

D

Photon diffraction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Electron diffraction is the diffraction of a beam of electrons by atoms or molecules. The fact that electrons can be diffracted in a similar way to light shows the particles can act as waves.
