Concept explainers
Analyzing crystal diffraction is intimately tied to the various different geometries in which the atoms can be arranged in three dimensions and upon their differing effectiveness in reflecting waves. To grasp some of the considerations without too much trouble, consider the simple square arrangement of identical atoms shown in the figure. In diagram (a), waves are incident at angle
with the crystal face and are detected at the same angle with the atomic plane. In diagram (b), the crystal has been rotated 45° counterclockwise, and waves are now incident upon planes comprising different sets of atoms. If in the orientation of diagram (b), constructive interference is noted only at an angle

A laser enters the system and first reflects off the bottom mirror, then the top mirror. When the beam exits it makes an angle of θ = 107 degrees with respect to the initial beam (see figure). Part (a) Write an expression for the angle, ψ, between the mirrors.

Assume that the x-ray beam is monochromatic, no scattering occurs and that material A (as shown in Figure 1) is. homogeneous and has a linear attenuation coefficient (u.). Material A has an HVL of 1.5 mm.
