The wave nature of electrons suggests that they will produce diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer experimentally proved this by diffracting electrons from a crystal. The law of diffraction from a crystal is obtained from the constructive interference of electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in the crystal. When electrons are incident on the crystal plane at an angle $i$ with the normal to the plane,and the distance between the planes is $d$,which of the following equations can be used to calculate the de Broglie wavelength of the electrons if a sharp diffraction peak is obtained?

Assuming an electron is confined to a $1 \, nm$ wide region,find the uncertainty in momentum using Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. You can assume the uncertainty in position $\Delta x = 1 \, nm$. Assuming $\Delta p = p$,find the energy of the electron in electron volts $(eV)$.

The wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (see figure).

Who was the first to verify that electrons are wave-like in nature?
