Which of the following is the limatation of de Broglie's analysis?

Options

A. Waves associated with macroscopic particles cannot be detected.
B. Diffraction of electrons by a crystal.
C. States having zero orbital angular momenutm do exist.
D. Waves can behave like particles and particles can exhibit wave properties.

Answer

C

Explanation

de Broglie's analysis fails to explain the fact that orbital angular momentum of `e^(-)` in certain states is zero.
`(2)` Diffraction is an important characteristic of waves. If shown conclusively that electrons do habe wave properties. Though waves associated with electrons have a very short wavelength, it is similar to the spacing between atoms in many crystals. Thus, a stream of electrons hitting such a crystal gives measurable diffraction patterns
