Question

Which phenomenon best supports the theory that matter has a wave nature?
Options
A electron momentum
B electron diffraction
Correct Answer
C photon momentum
D photon diffraction
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Electron diffraction is a phenomenon where electrons, which are particles, exhibit wave-like behavior by producing interference patterns. This provided strong experimental evidence for de Broglie's hypothesis of matter waves.

Hint

Look for an option that describes a particle behaving like a wave, specifically by producing an interference pattern.
