Problem
In the Davisson–Germer experiment, which observation most directly supports the wave nature of electrons?
(a) Electrons always emerge with the same kinetic energy they had before striking the crystal.
(b) The number of electrons striking the detector rises uniformly as the accelerating voltage is increased.
(c) A sharp maximum in scattered electron intensity occurs only at certain angles.
(d) Electrons are completely absorbed by the nickel crystal at specific accelerating voltages.
