BRAGG’S
EQUATION FOR X-Ray DIFFRACTION
When monochromatic
X-Rays are incident as a crystal they get scattered by the crystal atom Brag
propounded a law the constructive diffraction which is called the Bragg’s Law.
Consider
a crystal in which atoms are arranged in a periodic manner with interatomic
spacing ‘d’. A narrow beam of monochromatic X-Ray of wavelength λ
is allowed to fall on a crystal at a glancing angle θ.
The crystal acts as a diffracting grating with atoms as the opaque part and the
spacing between them as the transparent part.
Constructive
interference takes place only when the path difference is equal to nλ
that is when the following condition satisfied
