Lecture 26 : Wave Nature of Particle - the de Broglie Hypothesis
Using numerical values of
and
, we get a relationship of the form
The wavelength of the electrons in Davisson - Germer experiment can be calculated from the above to be 0.167 nm.
Exercise 4
Exercise 5
Bragg condition is satisfied when the path difference between beams scattered from two adjacent planes is a multiple of the wavelength. The path difference is
. For constructive interference of order
we have
