 The wavelength of the-rays =0.071 nm
Lattice constant =0.28 nm
Plane =110
Order of diffraction =2
Glancing angle =?
Using Bragg's law:

2 d \sin \theta=n \lambda

Rock salt has FCC, therefore,

d=\frac{a}{\sqrt{h^2+k^2+l^2}}
Substituting the values,

d=\frac{0.28 \times 10^{-9}}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2+0^2}}=\frac{0.28 \times 10^{-9}}{\sqrt{2}} m
Substituting in Bragg's equation,

\theta=21^{\circ}
