Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
Electrons behave as solid particles that can bounce off surfaces
Electrons possess wave-like properties described by De Broglie's hypothesis
Electrons are attracted to the slits due to electromagnetic forces
Electrons lose energy when passing through the slits, causing interference
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
De Broglie’s hypothesis says each particle has a wavelength related to its momentum. Other options are incorrect because Some students think electrons are solid balls that bounce off surfaces; Another misconception is that electromagnetic forces pull electrons to the slits.
