In Bragg’s spectrometer used to determine the wavelength of X – rays why should we make use of only NaCl crystal,cant we use any other molecular crystal?:uhh:
Bragg's x-ray spectrometer works by passing x-rays through a crystal and measuring the angle at which the x-rays are diffracted. This angle corresponds to the spacing between the atoms in the crystal lattice, allowing for the identification of the elements present.
Bragg's x-ray spectrometer is used for elemental analysis and identification in various fields such as materials science, chemistry, and geology. It allows for the characterization of materials and the determination of their atomic structure.
Bragg's x-ray spectrometer is highly accurate, with a typical precision of 0.1%. However, the accuracy can be affected by factors such as crystal quality, instrument calibration, and sample preparation.
Bragg's x-ray spectrometer offers several advantages over other techniques, including high sensitivity, non-destructive analysis, and the ability to analyze a wide range of elements. It also allows for the analysis of small sample sizes and can provide information on the crystal structure of a material.
Bragg's x-ray spectrometer has some limitations, such as the requirement for a crystalline sample and the inability to detect elements with low atomic numbers. It also cannot provide information on the chemical state of elements or the spatial distribution of elements in a sample.
