When an x-ray beam is scattered off the planes of a
crystal, the scattered beam creates an interference
pattern. This phenomenon is called Bragg scattering. For
an observer to measure an interference maximum, two
conditions have to be satisfied:
1. The angle of incidence has to be equal to
the angle of reflection.
2. The difference in the beam's path from a
source to an observer for neighboring
planes has to be equal to an integer
multiple of the wavelength; that is,
2d sin(0) = mx for m = 1, 2, ....
The path difference 2d sin(0) can be determined from
the diagram (Figure 1). The second condition is known as
the Bragg condition.

Thank youarrow_forwardA parallel laser beam of wavelength 633 nm is passed through a single narrow slit of width 0.1 mm, and the diffraction pattern is observed on a screen at distance 5 m.

- Your physics study partner tells you that the width of the central bright band in a single-slit diffraction pattern is inversely proportional to the width of the slit. This means that the width of the central maximum increases when the width of the slit decreases. The claim seems counterintuitive to you, so you make measurements to test it. You shine monochromatic laser light with wavelength λ onto a very narrow slit of width a and measure the width w of the central maximum in the diffraction pattern that is produced on a screen 1.50 m from the slit. (By “width,” you mean the distance on the screen between the two minima on either side of the central maximum.) Your measurements are given in the table. (a) If w is inversely proportional to a, then the product aw is constant, independent of a. For the data in the table, graph aw versus a. Explain why aw is not constant for smaller values of a.

For example, use d*lambda for d2. Please use the "Display response" button to check you entered the answer you expect.arrow_forwardA beam of light is diffracted by a slit of width 0.54 mm. The diffraction pattern forms on a wall 2.05 m beyond the slit. The distance between the positions of zero intensity on both sides of the central bright fringe is 4.8 mm.
