Chapter 12.9, Problem 5PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The spacing between the ion layers and the values of $2\theta$ for $n=3$ and $n=4$ in case of an $\text{X}-\text{ray}$ diffraction analysis of crystalline $\mathrm{Cs}\text{Cl}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: Bragg’s Law states that, “when $\text{X}-\text{ray}$ is incident onto a crystal surface, its angle of incidence, will reflect back with the same angle of scattering”.

To determine: The spacing between the ion layers and the values of $2\theta$ for $n=3$ and $n=4$ in case of an $\text{X}-\text{ray}$ diffraction analysis of crystalline $\mathrm{Cs}\text{Cl}$.
