Now if a crystalis mounted with careful reference to theposition of its atomic planes and is subjectedto a beam of .t--rays with only one wave-length, when the crystal is rotated a reflected ray beam of a single wave-length, all the pos-sible plane sets are exposed and all the pos-sible lines appear simultaneously on theplate. These lines are due to and characteris-tic of the atomic arrangement in the crystal-line structure of the powder Fig. I. Diagram of the .v-ray spectrometer.
