Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The angle of diffraction has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Bragg equation:
Bragg diffraction occurs when radiation, with a wavelength comparable to atomic spacing is scattered in a regular fashion by the atoms of a crystalline system and undergoes constructive interference. For a crystalline solid the waves are scattered from lattice planes separated by the interplanar distance

- Calcium oxide consists of a face-centered cubic array of O2 ions, with Ca2+ ions at the center of the unit cell and along the centers of all 12 edges. Calculate the number of each ion in the unit cell.arrow_forwardA metal with spacing between planes equal to 0.4164 nm diffracts X-rays with a wavelength of 0.2879 nm. What is the diffraction angle for the first order diffraction peak?arrow_forwardSpinel is a mineral that contains 37.9% aluminum, 17.1% magnesium, and 45.0% oxygen, by mass, and has a density of 3.57 g/cm3.The edge of the cubic unit cell measures 809 pm. How many of each type of ion are present in the unit cell?arrow_forward
- X rays from a copper X-ray tube ( = 154 pm) were diffracted at an angle of 14.22 degrees by a crystal of silicon. Assuming first-order diffraction (n = 1 in the Bragg equation), what is the interplanar spacing in silicon?arrow_forwardAluminum metal crystallizes with a face-centered cubic unit cell.
