$X$-rays of wavelength $\lambda$ are reflected from parallel planes of atoms in a crystal with spacing $d$ between two planes, as shown in the figure. If the two reflected beams interfere constructively, then the condition for maxima will be (where $n$ is the order of the interference fringe):

  • A
    $d \tan \theta = n \lambda$
  • B
    $d \sin \theta = n \lambda$
  • C
    $2 d \cos \theta = n \lambda$
  • D
    $2 d \sin \theta = n \lambda$

$\Delta \lambda$ is the difference between the wavelength of the $K_\alpha$ line and the minimum wavelength of the continuous $X$-ray spectrum when the $X$-ray tube is operated at a voltage $V$. If the operating voltage is changed to $V / 3$,then the above difference is $\Delta \lambda^{\prime}$. Then:

The wavelength of an $X$-ray photon is $0.01 \ \mathring A$. Its momentum in $kg \ m/s$ is .........
