In Example 3.6, if you estimate that you might have missed as many as five fringes when you reported m=122 fringes, (a) is the value for the index of refraction worked out in Example 3.6 too large or too small?

(b) Find the angles (with respect to the surface plane AA) of the n = 1, 2, and 3 intensity maxima from planes with spacing d1. Let = 0.626 and d0 = 4.00 . Note that a given crystal structure (for example, cubic) has interplanar spacings with characteristic ratios, which produce characteristic diffraction patterns. In this way, measurement of the angular position of diffracted x-rays may be used to infer the crystal structure.
