Davisson and Germer Experiment

2

​Aim of the experiment

​To prove the existence of matter wave associated with a moving particle.

3

​Idea behind the experiment

4

  • In x-diffraction by crystal, x-ray beam is strongly reflected when the beam strikes the the crystal at an angle that gives constructive interference among the waves diffracted from parallel planes.

​Idea behind the experiment

media
  • Condition for getting diffraction maxima 2dsinθ=nλ

​If a wave is associated with moving electron then elctron beam will show x-ray like diffraction maxima
