Q1: The condition of diffraction from a crystal is given by

A nλ = 2d Sin θ

B λ = d Sin 2θ

C λ = 2d Sin 2θ

D nλ = d Sin θ

ANS:A - nλ = 2d Sin θ

The condition of diffraction from a crystal is given by: nλ=2dsin(θ) Where:

  • n is the order of diffraction (an integer),
  • λ is the wavelength of the incident radiation,
  • d is the spacing between atomic planes in the crystal lattice, and
  • θ is the angle of diffraction.
This equation, known as Bragg's law, describes the constructive interference that occurs when X-rays or other electromagnetic waves are diffracted by a crystal lattice. It relates the wavelength of the incident radiation, the spacing between atomic planes, the angle of incidence, and the order of diffraction.
