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 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

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 .
