When discussing Bragg scattering we showed that constructive interference between waves reflecting from Bragg planes occurs when Ar = 2d sin(0) = nλ where Ar was the path length difference, d was the spacing between Bragg planes, the angle between the incident motion (light ray or particle direction) and the Bragg plane, n an integer, and λ the wavelength of the light or deBroglie wave.
