Important Questions on Matter Waves
The Davisson-Germer experiment demonstrated the wave nature of the electron, confirming the earlier hypothesis of deBroglie.
The wave nature of electrons ( the wavelength of electron ) was first experimentally verified by Davisson and Germer Experiment.
Write a short note on matter waves?
Describe the experimental verification of wave nature of matter.
When an electron-positron pair annihilates, the energy released is about:
Explain pair production and also explain the annihilation of matter?
What is the role of nucleus in pair creation?
What is meant by pair creation?
From the following, moving with the same velocity, the one which has the largest wavelength:
The relativistic expression for the wavelength of electrons moving with very high speed is
