(IV) If the incident beam is monochromatic or nearly so we canpresent to it not a single stationary crystal but a confused mass oftiny crystals oriented in every way whatever. The desired coincidencewill certainly occur for some among the crystals. This is the powder method invented and applied to X-rays byHull and by Debye and Scherrer, and applied to electron-waves byG. P. Thomson. The term implies that the chaotic mass of littlecrystals is obtained by pulverizing a large one; but small pieces orthin films of ordinary metals are likely to present quite as complete achaos.
