- As a single crystal is rotated in an x-ray spectrometer (Fig. 3.22a), many parallel planes of atoms besides AA and BB produce strong diffracted beams. Two such planes are shown in Figure P3.38.

(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 .

The grating interferes light constructively in particular directions: dsinθm=mλdsinθm=mλ For a particular angle, we calculate the wavelength. The grating constant (or line density) is 500 lines per mm -- every millimeter has 500 lines scratched onto it, equally spaced. The quantity d is the distance between the lines, and λ is the light wavelength. A meter stick shows the spots, and ym is position on the meter stick of the mth-order light beam. (Negative order is the same as positive order.) Calculate the light wavelength, λ in nm, given this information: The grating constant is 500 lines/mm.
