SUMMARY

The Laue camera calculates the reflection angle using the formula 180 - 2θ, where θ represents the scattering angle. This calculation is based on the geometric relationship defined by the Ewald sphere, which illustrates the interaction between incident and scattered waves. The reflection angle is not simply θ due to the need to account for the orientation of the sample and the geometry of the scattering process. Understanding this relationship is crucial for accurate interpretation of diffraction patterns in crystallography.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Laue diffraction techniques
  • Understanding of the Ewald sphere concept
  • Knowledge of scattering angles in crystallography

Hello, I am confused for a laue camera how the angle of reflection off of the sample is 180 -2θ, where θ is the scattering angle. How is the reflection off the sample not just θ?
