What will be the wavelength of the X-rays which give a diffraction angle 2θ equal to 16.80o for a crystal, if the inter planner distance in the crystal is 0.200 nm and only first order diffraction is observed (sin8.40o=0.146).

Solution
Using Bragg Equation nλ=2dsinθ d=0.200nm n=1 2θ=16.80 θ=16.802=8.40o angle given ⇒20=16.80o λ=? λ=2×0.200×10−9msin(8.40o) =2×0.200×10−9×0.146 =0.0584×10−9m =0.0584×10−9×100cm =5.84×10−9cm
