Actually cystal is a three dimensional grating with grating element(interplanar spacing)as of the order of 1 angstron unit. Also the wavelength of X rays is of the order of 1 angstron which satisfies basic condition of diffraction(Bragg's law). Gamma rays are not used for the same reason as well as gamma ray production is not high enough, difficult to focus and high intense enough to create particl and antiparticle.

There are six basic crystal systems that describe crystal structure. Scientists use X-rays to study the crystal structure of a mineral. They can use the structure of the crystal to identify the mineral.
Who was the first to study the structure of crystals using X-rays?
William Henry Bragg in 1915. If a beam of x rays is passed through a crystal, it makes a pattern on a photographic plate. the pattern is callede crystallogram, it reveals the crystal`s internal structure ( the arrangement of the atoms each crystal has its owncrystallogram.
What can x-rays do?
X-rays can detect flaws in metals, determine crystal structure,radiography, etc.
X-rays have short wavelengths and so?
they can be used for detection of crystal structure
How do you differentiate between a glass and a crystal?
if you are talking about the chemistry of the problem: a glass has no structure (amorphous state).a cristal (AKA solid state) has structure, in fact a crystal can show X-rays diffraction.
Who won the Nobel Prize for Physics for 1915?
Sir William Henry Bragg and his son Sir William Lawrence Bragg, both of England, shared the 1915 Nobel Prize for Physics, for their study of crystal structure by means of X-rays.
How do X-Rays reveal the structure of atoms within crystals?
When we set up a crystal target and X-ray it, the crystal scatters the X-rays. By examination and noting the angles at which the scattering occurs, and also the varying intensities of the scattered radiation, investigators can figure out the structure of the atoms within that crystal structure. This is called X-ray crystallography, and it relies on what we call X-ray diffraction. The technology has been around for quite a while, having been developed in the early part of the 20th century.
Is it possible to diffract x rays?
My guess would be that you can't because of the difference in wave length between x-rays and the visual spectrum.
What is the study of xrays?
The study of x-rays is radiology.
Application of braggs law in material detection?
Bragg's law is used intrinsically in X-ray diffraction, a technique used study the internal structure of crystalline substances, particularly minerals. Bragg's Law applies to the angle and intensity of reflected incident rays within in a crystal, and the subsequent determination of electron density locations. Once the location of electrons within a substance is known, one can extrapolate the structure of the solid.
What does a Elasmobranchology do?
they study sharks and rays
