Direction : Question Numbers. 150 and 151 are based on the following paragraph.
Wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (See figure).

If a strong diffraction peak is observed when electrons are incident at an angle i from the normal to the crystal planes with distance d between them (see tigure), de-Broglie wavelength `lamda_(dB)` of electrons can be calculated by the relationship (n is an integer)

Options

A. `dcosi=nlamdadB`
B. `dsini=nlamdadB`
C. `2dcosi=nlamdadB`
D. `2dsini=nlamdadB`

Answer

C

Explanation

According to Bragg.s law
`2d sin theta= nlambda`
`2d sin (90-i)=nlambda`
`2d cos i=nlambda`
