What are X-rays? Why the X-rays are preferred to study
crystalline solids? Derive Bragg’s Law. Calculate the glancing angle on the plane (100) for a crystal of rock salt (a=2.125 A0). Consider the case of 2nd order maximum and λ = 0.592 A0. Derive an expression for the interlunar spacing for the (hkl) planes in cubic crystal Explain with neat diagram construction of Bragg’s X-ray spectrometer. Write the procedure to determine crystal structure. Calculate the maximum order of diffraction. If x-ray of wavelength 0.819A0 is incident on a crystal of lattice spacing 0.282nm.
