Study Notes
Wave Nature of Electron
- Louis de Broglie first proposed the wave nature of the electron in 1924.
- The wave nature of the electron was confirmed by experiments in 1927, specifically by Clinton Davisson and Lester Germer.
- The most clear evidence of the wave nature of the electron is the diffraction pattern produced by electrons passing through a crystal lattice, which is observed in electron diffraction experiments.
