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 .

(a) largest,

(b) second largest,

Light of wavelength 440 nm passes through a double slit, yielding a diffraction pattern whose graph of intensity I versus angular position is shown in Fig. 36-44. Calculate (a) the slit width and (b) the slit separation. (c) Verify the displayed intensities of the m=1and m=2 interference fringes.

For the situation in Questions 9 and Fig. 1, if instead we increased the grating spacing, would (a) the half-widths of the lines and (b) the separation of the lines increase, decrease, or remain the same? (c) Would the lines shift to the right, shift to the left, or remain in place?


If Superman really had x-ray vision at 0.10nm wavelength and a 4.0mm pupil diameter, at what maximum altitude could he distinguish villains from heroes, assuming that he needs to resolve points separated by 5.0cm to do this?

Manufacturers of wire (and other objects of small dimension) sometimes use a laser to continually monitor the thickness of the product. The wire intercepts the laser beam, producing a diffraction pattern like that of a single slit of the same width as the wire diameter (Fig.36-37). Suppose a helium – neon laser, of wavelength 632.8nm, illuminates a wire, and the diffraction pattern appears on a screen at distance L=2.60m. If the desired wire diameter is 1.37mm, what is the observed distance between the two tenth-order minima (one on each side of the central maximum)?
