A second experiment performed by its namesakes showed that reflection off of two plates of crystalline material causes no change in polarization of electrons. The original experiment used a heated filament, parallel plate voltage accelerators, and a Faraday box, all set up in a vacuum, to show that slow- moving electrons satisfy Bragg's Law when reflected off of crystallized nickel. FTP, name this experiment whose results can be explained by constructive interference, thus confirming DeBroglie's hypothesis and demonstrating the wave nature of electrons, named for two Bell Labs scientists.
