In their study of X-ray diffraction, William and Lawrence 
Bragg determined that the relationship among the wavelength 
of the radiation 1l2, the angle at which the radiation 
is diffracted 1u2, and the distance between planes of 
atoms in the crystal that cause the diffraction (d) is given by 
nl = 2d sin u. X rays from a copper X-ray tube that have a 
wavelength of 1.54 Å are diffracted at an angle of 14.22 degrees 
by crystalline silicon. Using the Bragg equation, calculate 
the distance between the planes of atoms responsible 
for diffraction in this crystal, assuming n = 1 (first-order 
diffraction).

Energy bands are considered continuous due to the large
number of closely spaced energy levels. The range of energy
levels in a crystal of copper is approximately 1 * 10–19 J.

range of energies by the number of atoms in the crystal.
