a) A solid substance is considered to be orthorhombic in nature. Since the edges of the unit cell are a = 3.50Å, b = 4.0 Å, c = 5.5 Å, calculate the d and 2θ positions for the 111 plane expected in the diffraction pattern as a result of CuKα radiation (λ = 1.54 Å). b) What is the Miller index of the plane intersecting the crystal axes (2a, 1b, -3c)?
