Question

Electrons also exhibit diffraction pattern because :​

Answer 1

Electrons exhibit this diffraction pattern because of their wave-like nature.  

Explanation:

• This wave-like nature occurs due to the course of a beam of electrons near any matter.  

• In 1924, Louis de Broglie who was a french physicist claimed that electrons have wavelengths contrariwise proportional to their momentum. As a result of which high-speed electrons have short wavelength while slow speed electrons have long wavelengths.  

• Electron diffraction can be used to find the location of atoms in any substance.
