$X$-rays of wavelength $\lambda$ are reflected from parallel planes of atoms in a crystal with spacing $d$ between two planes, as shown in the figure. If the two reflected beams interfere constructively, then the condition for maxima will be (where $n$ is the order of the interference fringe):

  • A
    $d \tan \theta = n \lambda$
  • B
    $d \sin \theta = n \lambda$
  • C
    $2 d \cos \theta = n \lambda$
  • D
    $2 d \sin \theta = n \lambda$
