Chapter 15, Problem 15A.4AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The spacing of the given planes in a crystal having an orthorhombic unit cell has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Spacing of a plane in an orthorhombic unit cell:

  $\frac{1}{d_{hkl}^2}=\frac{h^2}{a^2}+\frac{k^2}{b^2}+\frac{l^2}{c^2}$

Where,

$d_{hkl}=$ Separation between planes

a, b and c are unit cell parameters.

h, k and l are Miller indices.
