Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
Electron diffraction through a double slit
The emission of electrons from a heated filament
The acceleration of electrons in a vacuum tube
The collision of electrons with a metal surface
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
When electrons go through two narrow openings, they spread out and overlap, creating bright and dark spots on a screen. Other options are incorrect because Many think the heat of a filament makes electrons move like waves, but it really only frees them as particles; Accelerating electrons in a vacuum tube is similar to pushing a ball with a force.
