The plane will scatter, and all atoms in the plane will scatter in phase if angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. this is how a mirror reflects. Furthermore all the parallel planes will also reflect at this angle. Trouble is the beams scattered from the different parallel planes are syste

Hi If a sample of powder crystal (say Nickel) is shot with monochromatic x-rays, one will observe reflections from planes that satisfy Bragg's Law. For Ni the first four planes are (111, 200, 202, 311) with 2theta (44, 52, 76, 93 degrees) respectively. Why doesn't one observe a reflection a
