To obtain a diffraction peak, for a crystalline solid with interplane distance equal to the wavelength of incident X-ray radiation, the angle of incidence should be

A

`90^(@)`

B

`0^(@)`

C

`30^(@)`

D

`60^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
From Bragg's equation
`n lambda =2d sin theta`
`d=lambda, n=1`
`1 xx lambda = 2 xx lambda sin theta`
`sin theta=1/2`
`theta=30^(@)`
