PHY 104 Photo Electric Emission Objective Question

Question

Which of the following phenomena provides evidence for the wave properties of MATTER, according to the document?
Options
A Photoelectric effect
B Compton effect
C Electron diffraction
Correct Answer
D Thermionic emission
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 10 lists 'Electron diffraction' and 'Interference of matter-waves' as evidence for wave-particle duality. Page 15 also lists 'Electron diffraction, interference of matter waves' under 'Evidence for wave properties of matter'. The photoelectric effect and Compton effect are evidence for the particle properties of light.

Hint

Refer to the sections discussing evidence for 'wave properties of matter' on pages 10 and 15.
