Problem 76

X-Ray Diffraction

On a certain crystal, a first-order X-ray diffraction maximum is observed at an angle of $$27.1^{\circ}$$ relative to its surface, using an X-ray source of unknown wavelength. Additionally, when illuminated with a different, this time of known wavelength 0.137 nm, a second-order maximum is detected at $$37.3^{\circ}$$. Determine (a) the spacing between the reflecting planes, and (b) the unknown wavelength.

Energy Stored in Capacitors U = 1 qV 2 q = CV 1 2 U = CV or 2 1 q2 U = 2 C 37 Energy Density in Capacitors (1)  We define the , u, as the electric potential energy per unit volume  Taking the ideal case of a parallel plate capacitor that has no fringe field, the volume between the plates is the area of each plate times the distance between the plates, Ad  Inserting our formula for the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor we find 38 Energy Density in Capacitors (2)  Recognizing that V/d is the magnitude of the electric field, E, we obtain an expression for the electric potential energy density for parallel plate capacitor  This result, which we derived for the parallel plate capacitor, is in fact completely general.  This equation holds for all electric fields produced in any way •The formula gives the quantity of electric field energy per unit volume. 39 Example: Isolated Conducting Sphere (1)  An isolated conducting sphere whose radius R is 6.85 cm has a charge of q=1.25 nC. Question 1: How much potential energy is stored in the electric field of the charged conductor Answer: Key Idea: An isolated sphere has a capacitance ofC=4πε R (see prev
