Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Answer
Wave‑particle duality says that particles such as electrons can behave like waves, which is the starting idea. From this idea De Broglie derived a wavelength for each electron, showing how the wave nature is quantified. With that wavelength in mind, the double‑slit experiment demonstrates interference, proving the wave‑like pattern of electrons. Finally, electron diffraction experiments confirm the same wave behavior in crystal lattices, completing the picture. For example, shooting electrons through a crystal and observing a diffraction pattern shows their wave-like nature.
Detailed Explanation
First we talk about the De Broglie wavelength, which tells us electrons can be seen as waves. Other options are incorrect because Starting with electron diffraction assumes the pattern exists before we know electrons have a wavelength; Beginning with the double‑slit experiment before introducing the wavelength is backwards.
