Write briefly the underlying principle used in Davison-Germer experiment to verify wave nature of electrons experimentally. What is the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron with kinetic energy (of).120 ev?

Answer

Diffraction effects are observed for beams of electrons scattered by the crystals.

$\lambda = \frac{1.227 nm}{\sqrt{\text{V}}}$

$\lambda = \frac{1.227nm}{\sqrt{120}}$

Value $ = \lambda= 0.112 \text{ nm}$

Alternate Answer

$\lambda = \frac{\text{h}}{\sqrt{2\text{meV}}}$

$ = \frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times120}}$

$\lambda = 0.112\text{ nm }$.
