In Fig. 36-47, first-order reflection from the reflection planes shown occurs when an x-ray beam of wavelength0.260nmmakes an angleθ=63.8° with the top face of the crystal. What is the unit cell sizea0?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The unit cell distance is 0.570 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

Step 2: Identification of the given data

The wavelength is,λ=0.260 nm.

The angle is, 63.8°.

The angle of incidence on the reflection planes is, θ=63.8°-45=18.80.

The order of diffraction is,n=1 .

03

 Step 3: The unit cell size

From the given figure it is clear that the relation following will be formed,

d=a02a0=2d

Now from the bragg’s law,

2d=2nλ2sinθ

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

a0=1×0.260 nm2×sin18.8°a0=0.570 nm

So the unit cell distance is0.570nm .

An x-ray beam of wavelength A undergoes first-order reflection (Bragg law diffraction) from a crystal when its angle of incidence to a crystal face is , and an x-ray beam of wavelength undergoes third-order reflection when its angle of incidence to that face is . Assuming that the two beams reflect from the same family of reflecting planes, find (a) the interplanar spacing and (b) the wavelength A.
