- 304: Diffraction And The Debye-Scherrer Camera

This causes a difference in the atomic spacing d which affects the powder pattern. So accurate measurements of stress can be obtained by measuring the difference in the angles q before and after straining. So we see that humankind has made great use of light and diffraction. Instruments employing the phenomenon of diffraction are ...
