  1. Question 1

    Q1. The Davisson-Germer experiment confirmed the de Broglie hypothesis by demonstrating which wave-like behavior of electrons when striking a nickel crystal?

    • A) Photoelectric effect
    • B) Scintillation counter
    • C) Blackbody radiation
    • D) Diffraction by crystals

    Answer: Diffraction by crystals

    Explanation: Diffraction is a wave property; the photoelectric effect and blackbody radiation demonstrate the particle nature of electromagnetic radiation.
