- The coordinates of the four I atoms in the unit cell of KIO4 are (0,0,0), (0,1/2,1/2), (1/2,1/2,1/2), (1/2,0, 3/4). By calculating the phase of the I reflection in the structure factor, show that the I atoms contribute no net intensity to the (114) reflection.arrow_forwardA light ray is incident from air into glass (ng = 1.52) then onto water (ny = 1.33). The wavelength of light in air (na = 1) is hair = 500 nm and it travels at a speed c = 3 x 10% m/s. The wavelength of light, 2, and its frequency, f, in water, are, respectively: 376 nm,8x10*11 Hz 500 nm,6x10*14 Hz 376 nm,6x10*14 Hz 500 nm,8x10*11 Hzarrow_forwardThe mass of an electron is 9.10938356×10-31 kg. The determination of the structure of molecules is often performed using a technique called X-ray diffraction. This technique relies on the wavelength of X-rays being very similar to the distance between atoms in molecules (these vary from 1 to 3 Å; Å = 10-10 m). Therefore crystals act as diffraction gratings for X-rays. Electron diffraction can also be used for determining the structure of matter. Why is this true since electrons are particles?
