Which phenomenon best supports the theory that matter has a wave nature?

The wave nature of electrons suggests that they will produce diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer experimentally proved this by diffracting electrons from a crystal. The law of diffraction from a crystal is obtained from the constructive interference of electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in the crystal. Electrons accelerated by a potential $V$ are diffracted by a crystal. If $d = 1 \ \mathring{A}$ and $i = 30^\circ$,then the value of $V$ should be ........... $V$. $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s, m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \ kg, e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C)$

In the Davisson-Germer experiment,the nickel crystal acts as a .........

The Davisson-Germer experiment that first demonstrated the wave nature of matter used electrons accelerated to $54 \ V$. Determine the wavelength of the electrons in the Davisson-Germer experiment in $\mathring{A}$.

Who made experimental verification of the wave nature of the electron?
