My guess would be that you can't because of the difference in wave length between x-rays and the visual spectrum.

Yes, X-Ray crystallography uses the crystal lattice to produce an X-Ray diffraction pattern (unique to the crystal); this was how the helical structure of DNA was established.

What can you conclude about X-rays from the fact that they diffract?

okay


What are cmmon examples of diffraction?

Rainbows! Sun rays diffract in water droplets to form rainbow.


How x-ray crystallography can be used to determine the crystalline structure of solid substances such as sodium chloride?

As x-rays pass through a crystal, such as NaCl, the atoms diffract, or bend the x-rays in certain directions and angles, giving a characteristic pattern on x-ray film. The specific pattern can be used to determine the crystalline structure and distance of the atoms from each other, among other things.


Are chest x rays possible if you have breast implant?

How did de broglie test his theory?

de Broglie waves for electrons have wavelengths similar to that of x-rays, which diffract when sent through certain crystals according to the Laue phenomenon. These wavelengths where fist confirmed by diffraction by Davisson and Germer.

What is the frequency of a 1.2 X 10 m x-ray?

It is not possible to answer the question because there are no x-rays with a wavelength of 1.2*10 metres! Clearly, there is a mistake in the question but it is not possible to say where.
