Answer:
Second order line appears at 43.33° Bragg angle.
Explanation:
When there is a scattering of x- rays from the crystal lattice and interference occurs, this is known as Bragg's law.
The Bragg's diffraction equation is :
.....(1)
Here n is order of constructive interference, λ is wavelength of x-ray beam, d is the inter spacing distance of lattice and θ is the Bragg's angle or scattering angle.
Given :
Wavelength, λ = 1.4 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
Bragg's angle, θ = 20°
Order of constructive interference, n =1
Substitute these value in equation (1).

d = 2.04 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
For second order constructive interference, let the Bragg's angle be θ₁.
Substitute 2 for n, 2.04 x 10⁻¹⁰ m for d and 1.4 x 10⁻¹⁰ m for λ in equation (1).


<em>θ₁ </em>= 43.33°
Potential energy can be calculated using the following rule:
potential energy = mgh where:
m is the mass = 85 kg
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
h is the height = 4 km = 4000 meters
Substitute in the above equation to get the potential energy as follows:
Potential energy = 85*9.8*4000 = 3332000 joules
By definition, the gain in PE (potential energy) is
ΔPE = m*g*h
Given:
mg = 40 N (Note that m*g = weight)
h = 5 m
ΔPE = (40 N)*(5 m) =200 J
Answer: 200 J
