Assertion (A): Crystalline solids can cause X-rays to diffract.

Reason (R): Interatomic distance in crystalline solids is of the order of

0.1 \mathrm{~nm}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

Option A is correct because crystalline solids do diffract X-rays due to the interatomic distances being on the order of X-ray wavelengths, and this distance is the reason for the diffraction.
