SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the relationship between the glancing angle and the deviation angle in X-ray diffraction. The glancing angle is defined as the angle between the incident X-ray beam and the atomic plane, while the deviation angle represents the angle between the original ray and the reflected ray. A specific case is presented where the glancing angle is calculated to be 25.25 degrees, despite an initial assumption of 0 degrees due to the atomic plane being parallel to the X-ray. The need for clearer diagrams to illustrate these relationships is emphasized.
