Bragg's Law calculator

Constructive diffraction angle from a crystal lattice.

Category: Diffraction

Formula: n·λ = 2·d·sin θ

Inputs

InputParameterUnitDefault
Wavelength λlamnm0.15406
Spacing ddnm0.314
Order nn1

Result with the default inputs

  • Bragg angle θ: 14.2007 °
  • 2θ: 28.4013 °

Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/braggs-law?lam=0.15406. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
