Abstract
IN June of last year (Proc. Phys. Soc., vol. 40, p. 284) I made a preliminary announcement of an experiment on the diffraction of electrons from a ruled grating in much the same way as has been done with X-rays. In a recent publication summarised in NATURE of Jan. 5, p. 29, E. Rupp has published results of an investigation on this subject, using a method very similar to my own, in which he obtains diffraction images on one side of a reflected line, which yield a value of the equivalent wave-length in good agreement with the de Broglie value. In view of the immediate interest in experiments of this type, I give below the results of a preliminary experiment which I obtained in December last.
