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.
