Question

The method used to study the structure of crystals of:

• A. X-ray diffraction
• B. polarisation of light
• C. X-rays refraction
• D. refraction of light

Answer 1

The correct option is A X-ray diffraction

X-ray crystallography (XRC) is a technique used for determining the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline structure causes a beam of incident X-rays to diffract into many specific directions.In a single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurement, a crystal is mounted on a goniometer.
