Bragg Diffraction
theta_b = asin(n·λ/(2·d))
What it says
The angle at which X-rays reflect strongly off crystal planes — how crystal structures are read.
Symbols
| Symbol | Quantity | Dimension |
|---|---|---|
theta_b | Bragg angle (rad) | 1 |
n | Order (dimensionless) | 1 |
λ | Wavelength (m) | L |
d | Plane spacing (m) | L |
Work it out
Enter what you know. No account needed.
Fill in all but one: n, λ, d, theta_b are all empty.
