The formation of interference patterns by electrons is best explained using which concept?
2 answers:
Answer:
D. Matter as a wave
Explanation:
electron is taken as particle because it is considered with small mass and charge. While electron in motion it also exhibit many properties similar to particles.
Like we can write the momentum associated with an electron given by
so in that all explanation if we have to find the interference due to electrons then we can say by De Broglie hypothesis that wavelength associated with moving electrons is given as
now as per this theory electron also shows the property of interference and diffraction.
so here we will have correct answer as
D. Matter as a wave

(a) 0.96 m/s
The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:
The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:
The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so
And the wave speed is given by:
(b) 0.265 m
The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is
d = 0.53 m
The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is
(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before
In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,
d = 0.30 m
So the amplitude would be
Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.
