- 2. When discussing Bragg scattering we showed that constructive interference between waves reflecting from Bragg planes occurs when Ar = 2d sin(0) = nλ where Ar was the path length difference, d was the spacing between Bragg planes, the angle between the incident motion (light ray or particle direction) and the Bragg plane, n an integer, and λ the wavelength of the light or deBroglie wave. When discussing the diffraction from a single crystal of Ni we expressed this condition for constructive interference as D sin(ø) = nλ, where D was the spacing between Ni atoms, and was the angle between particles shot perpendicular to a face of the Ni crystal and their reflection to a detector. The relation Φ between the angles is: 0 = and between the distances is d = D sin(). 2 (a) Using identity, e¹A cos(A) e¹A+e-iA 2 cos(A) + i sin(A), prove that sin(A) = where i = √-1 is an imaginary number. = = e¹A-e-iA 2i - (b) Using the identities from part (a) prove that sin(A - B) = sin(A) cos(B) – cos(A)…arrow_forward• Which among the following is a key process adopted for the laser beam formation as it undergoes the light amplification?
