Bragg’s Spectrometer
Bragg’s Spectrometer Much of our knowledge about crystal structure and the structure of molecules as complex as DNA in crystalline form comes from the use of x-rays in x-ray diffraction…
Bragg’s Law
What is Bragg’s Law? Bragg’s law is a special case of Laue diffraction which determines the angles of coherent and incoherent scattering from a crystal lattice. When X-rays are incident…
