A)the height of a unit cell
B)the smallest interatomic distance
C)the distance from detector to sample

E)the usual calculus symbol for a differential

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bragg's law relates the angle of diffraction (θ), the wavelength of the X-ray radiation (λ), and the distance between the atomic planes (d). Therefore, the quantity d refers to the distance between planes of atoms.

Bragg's Law for X-Ray Diffraction Is 2d Sin θ\thetaθ = M λ\lambdaλ
