If a is the length of the side a cubic ...

If `a` is the length of the side a cubic unit cell the distance between the body -centred atoms and one correct atoms in the cube will be

A

`(2)/(sqrt(3)) a`

B

`sqrt(3)/(2) a`

C

`(4)/(sqrt(3)) a`

D

`sqrt(3)/(4) a`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Length of body diagonal ` = a sqrt(3)`
,Distance between body centred atoms and corner atoms `= (sqrt(3)a)/(2)`
