Question

Which of the following variables govern the different X-ray techniques?

(a) Radiation, sample, detector

(b) Radiation, diffraction, detector

(c) Heat, mass, proteins

(d) Energy, sample, temperature.

I have been asked this question in an interview for internship.

This is a very interesting question from The X-ray Diffraction Experiment topic in portion X-Ray Diffraction of Solid State Chemistry

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Radiation, sample, detector

For explanation: In the X-ray diffraction techniques the three variables govern it these are. Radiation-monochromatic or variable of λ. Sample-single crystal, powder or a solid piece, Detector-Radiation counter or photographic film.
