D-Spacing Physics Help: Understanding Adjacent Planes in Lattices

[ehrenfest]

Homework Statement

By book says prove that the distance between two adjacent parallel planes of a lattice is d(hkl) = 2pi/|G| where g = gb_1 +k b_2 + l b_3 where the b_i are the primitive vectors of the reciprocal lattice.

Could someone clarify exactly what they mean by "adjacent"?
