Problem39 14

The document discusses diffraction maxima that occur when the condition d sin θ = mλ is satisfied, where d is the spacing between diffraction planes, θ is the scattering angle, m is the order of the maxima, and λ is the wavelength. It then: a) Calculates the spacing d between diffraction planes that gives a maximum for m = 1 at an angle of 60.6 degrees, getting a value of 0.206 nm. b) Calculates the angle θ that would give a maximum for m = 1 using this d value, getting 25.8 degrees. c) Calculates the energy E of electrons that would produce the given d and gets a value of 46.8 eV, then shows that

Using this energy, if we let m  2, then sin θ  1. Thus, there is no m  2 maximum in this
case.
