This discussion provides a step-by-step guide on calculating the lattice constant from a diffraction pattern using Bragg's Law. The process involves analyzing the intensity versus 2θ graph obtained from the diffraction pattern. By applying Bragg's Law, users can convert the angle θ into the desired interplanar spacing, which is essential for determining the lattice constant of crystalline materials.
