Question

When a certain crystal is illuminated with an X-ray source of unknown wavelength, a first-order X-ray diffraction maximum is observed at an angle of 27.1∘∘. (All angles are measured relative to the Bragg plane.) When illuminated with a different source with a known wavelength 0.126 nm, a second-order maximum is detected at 32∘∘.

Part A) What is the distance, in nanometers, between the Bragg planes? 

Part B ) What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the first, source?
