Answer ONE question from each Unit
All Questions Carry Equal Marks
Unit I
1.

With a neat sketch, obtain an expression for interplanar spacing in terms of Miller indices for a cubic lattice.
6M

Does the Miller indices refer to a single plane or to the family of parallel planes? What interpretation is given to the Miller indices? A member of a family of planes cuts the a-axis, b-axis and c-axis at points Q and R respectively. If the origin of the axes is O and it is given that OB=b/2 and OC=c/4 where b and c are the axial lengths then what is the Miller indices for the plane?
9M
2.

What are the limitations of Bragg's law? Using a neat diagram explain the rotating crystal method of diffraction.
10M

Using X-rays of wavelength 1.54Å a first order diffraction maximum is obtained at an angle of 32.51° from a cubic crystal whose unit cell dimension is 3.51Å. What are the possible Miller indices of the set of planes from which this reflection is obtained?
