Question

You are doing x-ray diffraction on a crystal that has a cubic structure, using 0.340-nm x rays. Part A If the lattice spacing is d = 6.70 × 10−10 m, what is the greatest Bragg angle at which you observe peaks in the intensity of the diffracted rays?

Answer 1

Answer:

∅ = 0.26°

Explanation:

Bragg's law states that:

n×λ = 2×d×sin(∅)

where:

• d is the lattice spacing.
• λ is the wavelength of the rays.
• n is the order of the diffracted rays, n = 1.

then:

sin(∅) = λ/2×d

    ∅ = sin^-1(λ/2×d)

    ∅ = 0.26°
