A narrow beam of monoenergetic electrons falls normally on the surface of a Ni single crystal. The reflection maximum of fourth order is observed in the direction forming an anle theta=55^(@) with the normal to the surface at the energy of the electrons equal to T= 180eV. Calcualte the corresponding value of the interplanar distance.

Answer»

Solution :Path difference is
`d+d cos theta= 2d "cos"^(2)(theta)/(2)`
Thus for reflection MAXIMUM of the `K^(TH)` order
`2 d "cos"^(2)(theta)/(2)k lambda=k(2pi ħ)/(sqrt(2mT))`
Hence `d=(kpi ħ)/(sqrt(2mT))"sec"^(2)(theta)/(2)`
Subsatitution with `k=4` gives
`d= 0.232nm`
