MCQ
Which crystal is used in the Davisson $–$ Germer experiment?
  • A
    Aluminum
  • Nickel
  • C
    Cobalt
  • D
    Zinc

Answer

Correct option: B.
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.
