Question

question 14 of 25 the formation of interference patterns by electrons is best explained by which statement? a. matter behaves as a wave. b. matter behaves as a particle. c. matter obeys the laws of newtonian physics. d. matter obeys the laws of classical physics.

Explanation:

The double - slit experiment with electrons shows that electrons can form interference patterns, which is a characteristic behavior of waves. This phenomenon supports the wave - particle duality of matter, where matter can exhibit wave - like behavior. Newtonian and classical physics do not adequately explain this wave - like behavior of electrons.

Answer:

A. Matter behaves as a wave.
