diffraction instrument wherein the detector screen is positioned exactly 0.25 m away from a
crystal sample (analyte) and the electrons from the source have an energy of 12.4 keV. Following
an experiment we observe the diffraction pattern shown (below) left. A slice through the center
of this pattern (dashed yellow line) yields the interference pattern shown on the right, wherein
the first dark spot is located 3.15 cm from the centerline. Using this information calculate the
lattice constant (interatomic spacing) of the crystal.
