Mathematical Crystallography
The equation λ = d sin(θ) relates the wavelength (λ) of a wave to the distance between crystal planes (d) and the angle of diffraction (θ). This fundamental relationship helps in understanding how waves interact with crystalline materials, showcasing both wave-particle duality and the principles behind X-ray diffraction patterns.
congrats on reading the definition of λ = d sin(θ). now let's actually learn it.
