3.5 Diffraction of X-rays by crystal planes and Bragg’s law

The visible light rays when pass through a sharp edge of an object can form some bright regions inside the geometrical shadow of the object. This is due to the bending nature of light, called diffraction. Diffraction of visible light rays can also be produced using plane-ruled grating. This grating consists of about 6000 lines/cm; so that the spacing between any two consecutive lines in the grating is of the order of the wavelength of visible light used to produce diffraction. The wavelength of X-rays is of the order of an angstrom, so X-rays are unable to produce diffraction with plane optical grating. To produce diffraction with X-rays, the spacing between the consecutive lines of ...
