Question:

This question has statement 1 and statement 2. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-1 : Davisson- Germer experiment established the wave nature of electrons.
Statement-2 : If electrons have wave nature, they can interfere and show diffraction.

Statement-1 is false, Statement 2 is true

Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is not the correct explanation of Statement-1

Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is correct explanation for Statement-1

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false

Solution:

Davisson Germer experiment showed that electron beams can undergo diffraction when passed through atomic crystals. This shows the wave nature of electrons as waves can exhibit interference and diffraction.
