Be more specific...because Visible light "Rays" are diffracted in those ways.
When rays fall on a diffraction grating normally (perpendicular to the surface), they spread out evenly across the grating, maximizing the interference pattern observed. This is because the angle of incidence affects how the waves interact with each slit on the grating, influencing the resulting diffraction pattern. Normal incidence ensures optimal alignment for constructive interference.
The angle of minimum deviation in a diffraction experiment is the angle at which the diffracted light rays are the most spread out, resulting in the best separation of the different colors. It is typically smaller than the angle of the first diffraction minimum to achieve maximum dispersion.
Bragg's law explains the angles at which X-rays are diffracted by crystal lattice planes, producing interference patterns known as diffraction lines in powder diffraction. These diffraction lines represent constructive interference between X-rays scattered by the crystal lattice. The spacing between the crystal planes and the angle of incidence determine the positions of the diffraction lines observed in the powder method.
Diffraction phenomenon is broadly classified into two categories: (a) Fresnel diffraction (near-field diffraction) The interference is considered to take place from different parts of an aperture when either the source or screen or both are at finite distance from the obstacle.(b) Fraunhoffer diffraction (far-field diffraction) The interference is considered to take place from different parts of an aperture when either the source or screen or both are at finite distance from the obstacle.== ==
Let's make certain we are on the same page first. A diffraction grating is an apparatus (piece of plastic, glass, ceramic) that has anywhere from one to ten thousand (or more!) thin grooves cut into it. The grooves act as slits that allow light to pass through the grating at regular intervals. In order to produce a decent diffraction pattern (often called interference fringes), the light must be coherent; that is, the light waves coming from the source must be in phase, containing waves vibrating in the same manner (i.e. rising to a crest and falling to a trough at the same points). When monochromatic coherent light (think laser light) strikes a diffraction grating, the light spreads out past the slits and shines onto a screen. When the light passes through the slits, some light rays travel straight through, but others travel at an angle away from the slits. When the angled light rays meet other light rays, they interfere and produce either bright spots (antinodes) or dark spots (nodes). If the interfering light rays are in phase, the rays interfere constructively, and the spots are bright; but, due to destructive interference, the spots are dark if the interfering rays are out of phase. With monochromatic light, the diffraction pattern is a series of bright spots separated by dark bands. For instance, if we shone a green laser through a diffraction grating in a dark room, we would see green spots alternating with black bands. The process is the same for composite light, but the results are a little different. White light is called a composite light because it is composed of six basic colors: redo, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Colors of light are our perception of light waves' frequencies. Since these different colors of light have different frequencies, they also have different wavelengths, and waves with different wavelengths diffract differently. You might remember that longer wavelengths (red light) refract less than short wavelengths (violet light). This pattern is reversed for diffraction: of all the colors of the visible spectrum, red diffracts the most, and violet diffracts the least. Therefore, when white light is shone through a diffraction grating in a dark room, the light waves still spread out past the slits just as monochromatic light does; however, the red light angles away from a slit more than any other color of light, and the violet light angles away the least. The other colors of the visible spectrum fill in the intervening space, and pow!--you have a spectrum! In fact, you should have at least two visible spectra, one on either side of a bright white spot, separated from the white spot by black bands.

X-ray diffraction cannot be observed in plane transmission gratings because these gratings are designed for optical wavelengths, which are much longer than the wavelengths of X-rays. Additionally, the spacing of the grating lines in a plane transmission grating is typically not suitable for diffracting X-rays, as the grating's structure is not on the atomic scale required to interact effectively with X-ray wavelengths. As a result, the conditions necessary for constructive interference and diffraction are not met for X-rays in this setup.

Yes, X-rays can be diffracted by crystalline materials. This diffraction occurs when X-rays interact with the periodic atomic structure of the crystal, causing them to scatter in specific directions. The resulting pattern can be analyzed to provide information about the crystal's structure, such as the arrangement of atoms and the distances between them. This principle is widely used in X-ray crystallography for determining molecular and atomic structures.
The Debye-Scherrer camera is a device used in X-ray diffraction to analyze crystalline materials. It consists of a cylindrical film holder positioned around a sample, which is irradiated by X-rays. As the X-rays interact with the crystal lattice, they are diffracted at specific angles, producing a series of rings on the film. By analyzing the positions and intensities of these rings, one can determine the crystal structure and other properties of the material.

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.
The internal ordering of mineral crystals was first detected using X-ray crystallography. This technique involves directing X-rays at a crystal and measuring the angle and intensity of the diffracted X-rays to determine the structure and arrangement of atoms within the crystal.
If the lens is convex, they will be diffracted and focused to a point, after which they will spread out. If it's concave, they will be diffracted so that they spread out without first concentrating.
