Question

Assertion (A) : If accelerated electrons are passed through a narrow slit, a diffraction pattern is observed. Reason (R) : Electrons behave as both particles and waves.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
• D. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.

Hint:

Whenever diffraction or interference is observed for a particle, it is direct evidence of its wave nature and hence confirms de Broglie's hypothesis.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
