MM 201
LP factor = , plot of LP factor v/s θ decreases first upto 450 and then
increases. The overall effect of this factor is to decrease the intensity of reflection at
intermediate angles compared to those in forward or backward directions.
Multiplicity factor, may be defined as the number of the different planes in a form
having the same spacing.
