(a)
Interpretation:
The angles of diffraction for a cubic crystal for the given incoming X radiation are to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
A unit cell of the crystal is the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms present in the crystal. The unit cell is the smallest and simplest unit of the crystal which on repetition forms an entire crystal. The parameters of a crystal can be obtained experimentally by X-ray diffraction technique.
