Q:

The wavelike properties of electrons are useful in

A) Magnifying objects B) Lasers
C) Weather reports D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Magnifying objects

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect pointed to the particle properties of light, which had been considered to be a wave phenomenon. Particles like electron and protons have both particle like and wave like behavior. Thus, according to de Broglie, all the material particles in motion possess wave characteristics. Although the dual nature of matter is applicable to all material objects but it is significant for microscopic bodies only.
