X-Ray Diffraction: A researcher is using x-rays to investigating a cubic crystal. He is looking at Bragg reflection from the planes parallel to the cube faces. He finds that when using x-rays with a wavelength of 0.165 nm, a strong first maximum occurs when the beam makes an angle of 23.5° with the planes. What is the spacing of adjacent atoms in this crystal?

In order to conserve energy, the inner surface of double-glazed windows are treated with a low emissivity coating that reduces the emissivity of the uncoated surface from 0.95 to 0.5 for the coated surface. If the temperatures of the two glass panes are 20°C and 0°C, respectively, determine the reduction in heat transfer in a coated double-glazed window as compared with the uncoated one.

GIVEN
? Double glazed windows treated with low emissivity coating that reduce emissivity of uncoated
surface from ??1 =0.95 to ??2= 0.5.
? Temperature of glass pane 1 (T1)= 20°C = 293 K
? Temperature of glass plane 2 (T2) = 0°C = 273
FIND
Reduction in heat transfer in coated double glazed window as compared to uncoated one.
