Questions and Answers

What is the phenomenon that demonstrates electrons behaving like waves?

  • Nuclear fusion
  • Compton scattering
  • Photoelectric effect
  • Electron diffraction (correct)
  • Which term describes the spreading of light into a spectrum?

  • Dispersion (correct)
  • Interference
  • Diffraction
  • Scattering
  • What distinguishes scattering from diffraction?

  • Scattering refers to light reflection, while diffraction is wave interference.
  • Scattering involves changes in energy, while diffraction does not.
  • Scattering involves the redirection of light, while diffraction involves bending around obstacles. (correct)
  • Scattering occurs with particles, while diffraction is limited to waves.
  • Which process can lead to the formation of interference patterns?
