MSE 225 Problem Set 4

A transmission Laue pattern is made of a cubic crystal having a lattice parameter of 4.00 . The x-ray
beam is horizontal. The [ ] axis of the crystal points along the beam towards the x-ray tube, the [
]
axis points vertically upward, and the [001] axis is horizontal and parallel to the photographic film. The
film is 5.00 cm from the crystal.
a. What is the wavelength of the radiation diffracted from the
planes?

b. Where will the

reflection strike the film?
The Bragg angle corresponding to any transmission Laue spot is given by:
