X rays of wavelength0.12 nm are found to undergo second order reflection at a Bragg angle of28°from a lithium fluoride crystal. What is the interplanar spacing of the reflecting planes in the crystal?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The inter planar spacing of the reflecting planes in the crystal is d=0.26 nm.

Step by step solution

01

Bragg’s law

Diffraction is a phenomena in which the interference or the bending of waves occurs around the corners of the opening or obstacle through or on which it strikes.

The diffraction formula is following,

²Ôλ=2»å²õ¾±²Ôθλ=wavelengthd=spacingθ=bragg anglen=order of diffraction

02

Identification of the given data

The wavelength is, λ=0.12 nm.

The bragg angle is, θ=28°.

03

 Step 3: Determination of the interplanar spacing of the reflecting planes in the crystal

By using the given data, the interplanar spacing of the reflecting planes in the crystal will be

For the second order reflection the n will be 2,

d=nλ2sinθ

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

d=20.12×10-9 m2sin28°d=2.56×10-10 md=0.26 nm

Hence the interplanar spacing of the reflecting planes in the crystal isd=0.26 nm .

An acoustic double-slit system (of slit separation dand slit width ) is driven by two loudspeakers as shown in Fig. 36-51. By use of a variable delay line, the phase of one of the speakers may be varied relative to the other speaker. Describe in detail what changes occur in the double-slit diffraction pattern at large distances as the phase difference between the speakers is varied from zero to 2Ï€. Take both interference and diffraction effects into account.

In a single-slit diffraction experiment, the top and bottom rays through the slit arrive at a certain point on the viewing screen with a path length difference of 4.0 wavelengths. In a phasor representation like those in Fig 36-7, how many overlapping circles does the chain of phasors make?

The wall of a large room is covered with acoustic tile in which small holes are drilled 5.0mmfrom centre to centre. How far can a person be from such a tile and still distinguish the individual holes, assuming ideal conditions, the pupil diameter of the observer’s eye to be 4.00mm, and the wavelength of the room light to be 550nm?

For three experiments, Fig.36-31 gives the parameter of Eq. 36-20 versus angle in two-slit interference using light of wavelength 500 nm. The slit separations in the three experiments differ. Rank the experiments according to (a) the slit separations and (b) the total number of two slit interference maxima in the pattern, greatest first.

A source containing a mixture of hydrogen and deuterium atoms emits red light at two wavelengths whose mean is 656.3 nm and whose separation is 0.180 nm. Find the minimum number of lines needed in a diffraction grating that can resolve these lines in the first order.
