X rays can be used in the study of crystal structure because they
A
have a very long-reaching wavelength
B
have extremely short wavelength
C
are invisible
D
are very fast
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The extremely short wavelength of X-rays allows them to interact with the atomic-scale structure of crystals via diffraction, revealing details of the crystal lattice, atomic positions, and bond lengths.
