In Fig. 36-48, let a beam of x-rays of wavelength 0.125 nm be incident on an NaCl crystal at angle θ = 45.0° to the top face of the crystal and a family of reflecting planes. Let the reflecting planes have separation d = 0.252 nm. The crystal is turned through angle ϕ around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the page until these reflecting planes give diffraction maxima. What are the (a) smaller and (b) larger value of ϕ if the crystal is turned clockwise and the (c) smaller and (d) larger value of ϕ if it is turned counter-clockwise

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)ϕ=15.26° in clockwise for m=2.

(b)ϕ=30.64° in clockwise for m=1.

(c)ϕ=3.1° in counter-clockwise for m=3.

(d)ϕ=37.8° in counter-clockwise for m=4.

Step by step solution

01

Bragg’s law

If the incident angle of the wave θ, measured from the surfaces of the reflecting plane and the radiation's wavelength λ, fulfil Bragg's equation, diffraction maxima (caused by constructive interference) is achieved. The Bragg’s equation is given as-

Wheredis the interplanar distance and is the order of the maximum intensity.

02

Given Data

The wavelength of light used: λ=0.125nm

Plane separation: d=0.252nm

Angle of incidence: θ=45°

03

Calculate the value of ϕ for each subpart.

If the crystal is rotated by an angle ϕ, the new angle of incident isθ±ϕ depending on the clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation.

Using the values given in the question,

For m=1, in clockwise direction, the angle θ-ϕis

For m=2, in clockwise direction, the angle θ-ϕis

θ-ϕ=sin-1mλ2d45°-ϕ=sin-10.125nm220.252nmϕ=45°-sin-10.496=15.26°

For m=3, in counter-clockwise direction, the angle θ+ϕis

θ+ϕ=sin-1mλ2d45°+ϕ=sin-10.125nm320.252nmϕ=sin-10.744-45°=3.1°

For m=4, in counter-clockwise direction, the angle θ+ϕis

θ+ϕ=sin-1mλ2d45°+ϕ=sin-10.125nm420.252nmϕ=sin-10.992-45°=37.8°

The smaller and larger values ofϕ for clockwise rotation areϕ=15.26° andϕ=30.64° respectively. The smaller and larger values ofϕ for counter-clockwise rotation areϕ=3.1° andϕ=37.8° respectively.

In a single-slit diffraction experiment, there is a minimum of intensity for orange light (λ = 600 nm) and a minimum of intensity for blue-green light (λ = 500 nm) at the same angle of 1.00 mrad. For what minimum slit width is this possible?

Figure 36–35 shows the bright fringes that lie within the central diffraction envelope in two double-slit diffraction experiments using the same wavelength of light. Is (a) the slit width a, (b) the slit separation d, and (c) the ratio d/ain experiment B greater than, less than, or the same as those quantities in experiment A?

Light of wavelength 633nmis incident on a narrow slit. The angle between the first diffraction minimum on one side of the central maximum and the first minimum on the other side is 1.20°. What is the width of the slit?

Find the separation of two points on the Moon’s surface that can just be resolved by the 200in=5.1mtelescope at Mount Palomar, assuming that this separation is determined by diffraction effects. The distance from Earth to the Moon is 3.8×105km. Assume a wavelength of 550nm for the light.
