Yes, I am familiar with diffraction patterns and its theory.berkeman said:
No, this is not a school work question, it is a personal question, otherwise I would have sent the question in the relevant section.

I think an error could be to read the diffraction angle. Because people may read different angles, albeit with slight differences. And because the diffraction angle is related to the wavelength, can affect it.berkeman said:

I, for one, am waiting for your best effort to catalog all the errors. This avoids us telling you things you already know and allows us to understand at what depth to proceed.

Add me to the list of people waiting for your best effort. If it helps, many people are willing to put as much effort as you are. But not much more.
