X-Ray Diffraction X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a rapid analytical technique primarily used for phase identification of a crystalline material and can provide information on unit cell dimensions. The analyzed material is finely ground‚ homogenized‚ and average bulk composition is determined. Fundamental Principles of X-ray Diffraction Max von Laue‚ in 1912‚ discovered that crystalline substances act as three-dimensional diffraction gratings for X-ray wavelengths similar to the spacing of

Diffraction refers to various phenomena which occur when a wave encounters an obstacle. In classical physics‚ the diffraction phenomenon is described as the apparent bending of waves around small obstacles and the spreading out of waves past small openings. Similar effects occur when a light wave travels through a medium with a varying refractive index‚ or a sound wave travels through one with varying acoustic impedance. Diffraction occurs with all waves‚ including sound waves‚ water waves‚ and electromagnetic

Festa Buçinca 1647205 Phys 222 EXPERIMENT 4 diffraction and interference Purpose: The aim of doing this experiment was to examine diffraction and interference effects of light passing through various apertures‚ and use the diffraction patterns obtained by single and double slit apertures to find the wavelength of the light source used. Theory: We know that light can be described by two theories‚ namely the particle theory and the wave theory of light‚ each having its own experimental

addition has amplitude at a particular point that is the algebraic sum of the amplitudes of its constituent waves.[3] This superposition of waves can be observed as interference and diffraction when light passes through apertures or obstacles. When light breaks up as it passes through an aperture or an obstacle‚ a diffraction pattern is observed. The regions in the pattern where light is visible are called the maxima. On the other hand‚ the regions where light is invisible are called the minima. In

Huygens’ Principle‚ Interference and Diffraction Huygens’ Principle In 1678‚ a Dutch physicist‚ Christian Huygens‚ studied wave behavior and proposed that the wavefronts of light waves spreading out from a point source can be regarded as the overlapped crests of tiny secondary waves – that wavefronts are made up of tinier wavefronts. Wavefronts are an array of identical waves that have the same source and travels through a homogeneous medium‚ thus their corresponding crests and troughs are in the

Paper Electron diffraction through a graphite film. Mark Raskin Skidmore College (11/14/14) Abstract: In this paper‚ the wave-like properties of electrons are discussed. We are trying to measure the inter-atomic spacing (d) between the graphite atoms‚ which we are accelerating electrons through. As the electrons pass through the graphite‚ an interference pattern emerges on the screen in front of the gun. The interference pattern shows up as a circle within a circle‚ each of which represents

Introduction: Purpose: The Purpose of this experiment is to find the width of a piece of hair using diffraction pattern created by a thin film. Hypothesis: If the hair is human it will have a width of 10-4m. Procedure: 1. Place two pieces of glass flat against each other. 2. Obtain a piece of long hair‚ most likely from one group member’s head. 3. Place the hair between the sheets of glass on one edge. 4. Place a rubber band around the pieces of glass on the side opposite

American Telephone and Telegraph Company Coupled Wave Theory for Thick Hologram Gratings By HERWIG KOGELNIK (Manuscript received A thick May 23‚ 1969) coupled wave analysis is given of the Bragg diffraction of light by hologram gratings‚ which is analogous to Phariseau ’s treatment of acoustic gratings and to the "dynamical" theory of X-ray diffraction. The theory remains valid for large diffraction efficiencies where the incident wave is strongly depleted. It is reflection holograms
