Homework Statement
I am writing a lab report for an X-ray diffraction. I have been attempting to come up with an equation for the error using formulas some people from college gave me and also some I found on wikipedia but I am quite sure I am doing it wrong. The only variable is the angle where the maximum intensities are found. I am using Bragg's law to calculate the spacing between the atoms.
Homework Equations
D = (N*wavelength)/(2*sin(x))
As there is no error in N, wavelength, or "2", we can let that equal A.
D = A/sin(x)
Some equations I was given:
Z = aX
dZ = adX
Z = X^a
dZ/z = |a|dx/x
Z = SinX
dZ = dX CosX
The Attempt at a Solution
D = Z = A/sin(x) = A (sin(x))^-1 = A f(y)^-1
I have tried loads of ways of calculating this but I keep getting silly answers. Any help, ideas or links would be really appreciated.
