The second order Bragg diffraction of X-rays with lambda = 1 Angstrom form a set of parallel planes in a metal occurs at an angle of 60 degrees. The distance between the scattering planes in the crystal is
1- 2 A 2- 1 A
3- 0.575A 4- 1.15 A

Solution
Bragg's Law was given for the X-Ray difffraction.
nλ = 2d sinθ
n= order of diffraction
d = distance
Here, n=2 (second order)
λ = 1 Ao
θ = 60o
So, put in the formula, 2 x 1 = 2 x d x
d= 1.154 Ao
