Nuclear & Particle Physics - Bragg Diffraction

The longest wavelength X-ray that can undergo Bragg diffraction in a crystal for a given family of planes of spacing d is

A. d/4
B. d/2
C. d
D. 2d
E. 4d
(GR9277 #02)
Solution:

Bragg’s law: 2d sin θ 

Maximum → sin θ = 1

and = 1 (1st order)

λ = 2d

Answer: D
