Wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (see in figure) Electrons accelerated by potential V are diffracted from a crystal. If d = 1Ã… and $i = 30^o$, V should be about $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} Js$, $m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} kg, e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C)$
