Of the following which is the best evidence for the wave nature of matter?
A)The photoelectric effect
B)The Compton effect
C)The spectral radiancy of cavity radiation
D)The relationship between momentum and energy for an electron
E)The reflection of electrons by crystals

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reflection of electrons by crystals (also known as electron diffraction) is the best evidence for the wave nature of matter. This phenomenon demonstrates that electrons can exhibit diffraction patterns similar to those of waves, indicating that they have wave-like properties. The other options listed are not as direct in their evidence for the wave nature of matter.
