Question

The X-ray cannot be diffracted by means of an ordinary grating due to

A

large wavelength

B

high speed

C

short wavelength

D

all of these

Answer

short wavelength

Explanation

Solution

For diffraction, the edges of the obstacle should be comparable to the wavelength of radiation. Wavelength of $X$ -rays is very low, so, they can not be diffracted through ordinary grating.
