BRAGGS' EQUATION

BRAGGS' EQUATION allows a number of different simple uses of Braggs' equation. From known $2\theta$ angles and wavelength (or energy), the corresponding d-spacings may be calculated using the D-SPACING sub-menu option. From known d-spacings and wavelength the corresponding $2\theta$ angles may be calculated using the TWO THETA ANGLE option. From known d-spacings and $2\theta$ angles the wavelength (and photon energy) may be calculated using WAVELENGTH/ENERGY . The commands EXIT or QUIT can be used to return to the main menu.

Here is an example of use, which converts a $2\theta$ angle at one wavelength into the equivalent diffraction peak angle at a different wavelength:
