Dispersion, scattering, interference, and diffraction are all properties of waves that can be observed when particles like electrons are treated as waves.

    Objectives:

    1. Cite experimental evidence showing that


    electrons can behave like waves.
    2. Differentiate dispersion, scattering,
    interference, and diffraction.
    Experimental evidence showing that electrons can
    behave like waves.

    Can Particle behave like Waves?

    Louis de Broglie (1892-1987), postulated that light has a dual


    nature . He also postulated that if light is a wave but acts like a
    particle, then a particle may also have a wave like behavior. He
    further theorized that the wavelength of particle is related to
    Planck’s constant and is inversely proportion to its momentum.
    The wavelength
    shows the wave
    nature of electron,
    whereas the
    momentum show its
    particle nature.
    In 1927, Clinton Davisson and Lester Germer, both
    American physicists, tried to verify a prediction in
    classical physics that says scattered electron will
    appear from all directions with little dependence on
    their intensity, scattering angle and energy. Electron,
    when they hit smooth surface would still experience a
    diffuse reflection because they are relatively very
    small.
    When Davisson and Germer bombarded a nickel crystal with
    a beam of electron, they found nothing significant about their
    experiment until their set up got broken and the nickel crystal
    was oxidized. Upon recrystallization, the nickel created small
    holes similar diffraction grating. When they performed the
    experiment, the electron passing through these very holes were
    diffracted. Significantly, they found out that elementary
    particles like electrons also behave like waves since
    diffraction is one of the properties of waves.
    • Dispersion of Light- The separation of
    visible light into its different colors is
    known as dispersion. It was mentioned in
    the Light and Color unit that each color is
    characteristic of a distinct wave frequency;
    and different frequencies of light waves will
    bend varying amounts upon passage
    through a prism.
    Properties of light related to the Wave
    Theory

    Scattering of light- is the phenomenon in which light


    rays get deviated from its straight path on striking an
    obstacle like dust or gas molecules, water vapors
    etc. Scattering of light gives rise to many spectacular
    phenomena such as Tyndall effect and the “red hues
    of sunrise and sunset”.
    Interference of light- is a phenomenon in
    which two waves superpose to form a
    resultant wave of greater, lower, or the same
    amplitude. Interference effects can be
    observed with all types of waves, for example,
    light, radio, acoustic, surface water waves,
    gravity waves, or matter waves.
    Diffraction of light- is the slight bending of
    light as it passes around the edge of an
    object. The amount of bending depends on
    the relative size of the wavelength of light to
    the size of the opening. If the opening is
    much larger than the light's wavelength, the
    bending will be almost unnoticeable.
