An X-ray beam of wavelength 1.0˚A is incident on a crystal of lattice spacing 2.8˚A . The value of Bragg angle for first order of diffraction is :
The Bragg’s Law of diffraction is given as
2dsinθ=nλ
By substituting the values given in the above equation we get
2×2.8×1010sinθ=1×1010m
The value of the angle is
θ=sin−1(15.6)
Hence the angle is17.8∘
