The radii of Na+ and Cl ions are 0.98 and 1.81 Å respectively. The Young's modulus of NaCl
[100] direction is 5 * 10 ^ 10 * N * m ^ - 2 . Assuming that the extension in [100] direction produces
negligible contraction in the perpendicular directions, calculate the wavelength at which the
electromagnetic radiation is strongly reflected by NaCl crystal. Atomic masses of Na and Cl
are 23 and 35.5 amu respectively.
