← ScienceWhich type of scattering will predominate when X-rays illuminate microcrystalline aggregates?
A)Bragg diffraction reveals crystal structure✓
B)Compton scattering shifts the wavelength
C)Rayleigh scattering degrades beam coherence
D)Thomson scattering redirects beam intensity
💡 Explanation
Bragg diffraction predominates because constructive interference occurs at specific angles determined by the crystal lattice spacing; therefore, diffraction patterns are observed, rather than Compton or Rayleigh scattering, which affect the photon energy and direction randomly.
