De broglie hypothesis: The Davisson-Germer experiment proved

The Davisson-Germer experiment proved beyond doubt the wave nature of matter by diffracting electrons through a crystal. In 1929, de Broglie was awarded the Nobel Prize for his matter wave theory and for opening up a whole new field of Quantum Physics. The matter-wave theory was gracefully incorporated by Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. The De Broglie hypothesis proposes that all matter exhibits wave-like properties and relates the observed wavelength of matter to its momentum. De Broglie proposed that a moving material particle of total energy E and momentum p has a wave associated with it (analogous to a photon). He suggested a relation between properties of the wave, like frequency and wavelength, with that of a particle, like energy and momentum. Which experiment conclusiely proved de-Broglie hypothesis? Answer: The Davisson and Germer experiment demonstrated the wave nature of the electrons, confirming the earlier hypothesis of de Broglie.
