In this chapter, we discuss the well celebrated Davisson-Germer experiment, that demonstrates the wave nature of the electron. Then, we present the table-top apparatus that reproduces the original experiment. We point out that such experimental set-up is easily usable by students, and it allows to measure the electron wavelength, thus confirming de Broglie’s hypothesis.

Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss the well celebrated Davisson-Germer experiment, that demonstrates the wave nature of the electron. Then, we present the table-top apparatus that reproduces the original experiment. We point out that such experimental set-up is easily usable by students, and it allows to measure the electron wavelength, thus confirming de Broglie’s hypothesis.File in questo prodotto:
