Wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davission and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (see figure) The surface of a metal is illuminated with the light of 400 nm .
