Bragg's law describes the scattering of waves in a crystal, particularly in the context of X-rays. It dictates that the scattered wave's intensity and direction depend on the specific spacing of the crystal's atoms, called the lattice constant, and the angle of incidence. The law states that the scattered wave's intensity is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident wave and inversely proportional to the square of the angle of incidence. This relationship enables scientists to determine the properties of the crystal, such as its lattice constant and the types of bonds between atoms
