Solution
The correct option is D1.15
The Bragg's equation is 2dsinθ=nλ
d is the distance between the scattering planes in the crystal.
θ is the angle of diffraction.
n is the order of diffraction.
λ is the wavelength of X rays.
2d×sin600=2×1Ao
d=1.15Ao
The distance between the scattering planes in the crystal is d=1.15Ao
