2. Determination of lattice plane spacings of graphite d1 and d2
Hint:
- Plot the graphs of the ring diameters D1 (m) and D2 (m) against

-1
(V ).

- The slopes k1 and k2 are determined by linear fits through the origin
according equation (IX) to the experimental data.
- Resolving equation (X) for the lattice plane spacings d:

give d1 and d2.

3. Questions
3.1. From your perspective, where is the dominant error from?
3.2. Calculate the difference between and
. What reasons induce this
difference? Give any solution to decrease this problem.
