historically speaking diffraction has been used in order to investigate on the  crystal lattices

ooh okay! i am not 100% sure, what does a crystal lattice do? :P

michele_laino · Answer

crystal lattices are the structural arrangement of solids

anonymous · Answer

ohh okay! so for this problem, does that mean choice A is the solution? I am not very sure :/

michele_laino · Answer

I think option A

anonymous · Answer

ooh okie yay! thank you:)

michele_laino · Answer

even if the diffraction grating is also used in order to separate the colors of the visible light,  each from other

anonymous · Answer

ooh okie:)
