Q

Electron diffraction

A
  • electron gun fires electrons at a thin piece of polycrystalline graphite
  • electrons pass between individual carbon atoms
  • the gap between the atoms is so small that it is similar to the wavelength of the electrons and so they diffract
  • light - constructive interference
  • dark - destructive interference
