Answer:

Interference patters of electron

Step-by-step explanation:

In this phenomena, electrons were passed through a double slit and strike on a slit behind the slit, thus an interference pattern of bright and dark fringes is formed on screen. This validates that electron ( matter ) behaves like wave.

Interference is a specific characteristic exclusive to waves hence a conclusion was drawn that if matter shows this, it must also reflect like a wave.

The phenomenon that best illustrates on matter behaving like a wave instead of being a particle is called the interference patterns of electrons. In addition, this phenomenon was described by experimenting that made use of an electron wherein the wave nature of electrons was observed.
