Which phenomenon provides evidence for wave-particle duality in electrons?.

  1. A.Photoelectric effect
  2. B.Electron diffraction
  3. C.Compton scattering
  4. D.Thermal emission

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • Electron diffraction

Explanation

Why this works

Electron diffraction demonstrates wave-particle duality as electrons exhibit wave-like behavior when passing through a slit, creating an interference pattern. This supports the concept that particles can show wave characteristics.
