Question

X-ray diffraction experiments exhibit interference because:

X-rays striking the surface of a material cause electrons to be emitted

X-rays reflecting off different layers of atoms within a crystal travel different distances

The frequency of an x-ray changes when it passes through a narrow opening

The intensity of the x-rays causes the structure of the crystals to be deformed

X-rays striking the surface of a material cause electrons to be emitted

X-rays reflecting off different layers of atoms within a crystal travel different distances

The frequency of an x-ray changes when it passes through a narrow opening

The intensity of the x-rays causes the structure of the crystals to be deformed

Explanation / Answer

X-rays reflecting off different layers of atoms within a crystal travel different distances.

Due to the path difference, phase difference takes place so interference pattern form.
