An X-ray beam of wavelength 2.3 × 10-10 m makes an angle of 35° with a set of planes in a crystal which results in first order constructive interference. Determine the plane spacing in nanometers. (Please include 2 decimal places).
Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
