JJ and GP Thomson, father and son, both performed experiments with beams of electrons. In 1897, JJ deduced electrons are particles with a definite value for e/me. In 1927, GP deduced that electrons behave like waves. In JJ's experiment, electrons with kinetic energies of 200 eV passed through a pair of plates with 2 cm separation. Explain why JJ saw no evidence for wave-like behaviour of electrons
