How do I calculate diffraction intensity for a 2D lattice?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the intensity of diffraction spots for a 2D lattice after Bragg diffraction, one approach is to designate the strongest spot and observe that surrounding spots decrease in intensity with distance. The intensity distribution is influenced by factors such as the lattice structure and the type of diffraction being performed. Reference material, such as "Introduction to X-Ray Powder Diffractometry," provides example calculations that can guide the process. Understanding the specific diffraction method is crucial for accurate intensity calculations. Proper application of these principles will yield the desired diffraction intensity results.

Homework Statement


How do I figure out the intensity of diffraction spots after doing Bragg diffraction on a particular 2D lattice?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I'll guess I make 1 spot in the diffraction pattern the strongest, and the diffraction spots around it decrease in intensity as the spots get further away from the first spot.

Any ideas? Thanks!

It depends on the type of diffraction you're doing, but on chapter three of the below book they do an example calculation.

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
