Homework Statement



Measurements of XRay scattering from a metal are made. The bragg peaks are θ = 53° and 48° for temperatures of 300K and 1272K.

What is the linear expansion coefficient?

Homework Equations


linear expansion coef is given by (1/L)(dL/dT)
Bragg equation (differential form) δd / d=δθ / tan θ.

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't know where to start with this question, any advice would be appreciated.
