also here are my calculations for part (d) for KBr the first two indices are ( 1 1 1 ), and (2 0 0 ), so h =1, k=1, l=1, and h=2, k=0, l=0, respectivley. for the fist case d-hkl is 3.805 angstroms, and 3.295angstroms for the second. plugging them into Braggs formula with the variable I gave...

Well, I think I got part (c), I'll give you my answer (it may not be the most concise, but i think I am on the right track) The cause of the diffraction differences begin with the K+ and Cl- ions, they both have an argon electron shell structure, and hence scatter x-rays almost equally...

Thanks TSny, that article is a great help. : ) I'm fairly sure that the question refers to θ, but i will try to verify. I realized one small (er.. big ) detail, I overlooked, the Question that I posted was a part (d) of a four part question, and the part before (c), gave a list of miller...

Homework Statement HI, I am practicing some exam questions to get ready for a repeat, below is the question I am having trouble with. "The lattice constants of KCl and KBr are 6.29 angstroms, and 6.59 angstroms, respectively. What would be the first two observed Bragg diffraction angles...

Thanks for the replies, sorry for leaving it so long to get back to you. You're right, it is a solenoidal beta-ray spectrometer. Kurros, with the field at zero, i.e. no current flowing through the solenoid, you can get detect of the order of 700 counts over 180 seconds. At a Field strength...

Hi guys this is my first post since I've joined, so be nice! I've been playing around with a short lens spectrometer at uni, using a strontium-90 beta source. It basically consists of a long steel tube with the source housed at one end, and a solid state detector at the other, mid way there is...
