The DavissonGermer experiment was a physics experiment

conducted by

American physicists Clinton Davisson and Lester Germer in the years 1923 1927,
which confirmed the de Broglie hypothesis. This hypothesis advanced by Louis de
Broglie in 1924 says that particles of matter such as electrons have wave like
properties. The experiment not only played a major role in verifying the de Broglie
hypothesis and demonstrated the wave-particle duality, but also was an important
historical development in the establishment of quantum mechanics and of
the Schrdinger equation.
According to Maxwell's equations in the late 19th century, light was thought to
consist of waves of electromagnetic fields and matter was thought to consist of
localized particles. However, this was challenged in Albert Einsteins 1905 paper on
the photoelectric effect, which described light as discrete and localized quanta of
energy (now called photons), which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. In
1924Louis de Broglie presented his thesis concerning the wave-particle duality
theory, which proposed the idea that all matter displays the wave-particle duality of
photons. According to de Broglie, for all matter and for radiation alike, the
energy
of the particle was related to the frequency of its associated wave by
the Planck relation:

And that the momentum of the particle

now known as the de Broglie relation:

where h is Planck's constant.
