Question
The wave-particle duality states that particles sometimes behave as waves and waves sometimes behave as particles. In which one of the following cases does light behave as a particle or does an electron behave as a wave?
a) Water is heated to 99.0 oC in a microwave oven. b) X-rays are used to examine the crystal structure of sodium chloride. c) A Young's double slit experiment is conducted using blue light. d) A beam of electrons is diffracted as it passes through a narrow slit. e) An electron enters a parallel plate capacitor, which deflects the electron downward.Explanation / Answer
The wave nature leads to defraction.
A beam of electrons is diffracted as it passes through a narrow slit.
