Question
Which crystal is used in the Davisson – Germer experiment?
✓
Answer
- Nickel
The crystal used in the Davisson – Germer experiment is nickel. A fine beam of electrons is made to fall on the surface of the nickel crystal. As a result, the electrons are scattered in all directions by the atoms of the crystal.
