The largest distance between the interatomic planes of a crystal is 2 x 10-7cm. The upper limit for the wavelength of X-rays which can be usefully studied with this crystal is

a
1 Å
b
2 Å
c
40 Å
d
20 Å

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Bragg's law,   2dsinθ=nλ    or    λ=2dsinθnFor maximum wavelength, nmin=1,  (sinθ)max=1∴  λmax=2d   or   λmax=4×10−7cm=40 Å
