For the structural analysis of crystals,

X

-rays are used because

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

X

-rays have wavelength of the order of interatomic spacing

Option A (

X

-rays have wavelength of the order of interatomic spacing) is correct because X-rays with wavelengths comparable to interatomic distances are diffracted by the crystal lattice, allowing for structural analysis.
