PHY 104 Photo Electric Emission Objective Question

Question

What is the primary evidence for the wave properties of matter, as summarized in the 'CONCLUSIONS' section?
Options
A Photoelectric effect and Compton scattering
B Electron diffraction and interference of matter waves
Correct Answer
C The existence of photons as discrete units of light
D The relationship E=hv and p=h/λ
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

On page 15, under 'Evidence for wave properties of matter', it lists 'Electron diffraction, interference of matter waves (electrons, neutrons, He atoms, C60 molecules)'.

Hint

Consider experiments where matter (like electrons) behaves like waves.
