The ratio of the volume of a tetragonal lattice unit cell to that of a hexagonal lattice unit cell is (both having same respective lengths)

A

`sqrt3/2`abc

B

`2/(3sqrt3)`

C

`2/sqrt3(a^(2)c)/b`

D

1.33

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Ratio = `(a^(2)c)/(6xx(sqrt3/4a^(2))xxc)=2/(3sqrt3)`
