Crystal Structure Determination

The powder pattern of an element is made with CuKα λ= 1.54178Ǻ radiation contains eight
lines whose Sin2θ values are 0.0603, 0.161, 0.221, 0.322, 0.383, 0.484, 0.545, 0.645. Index
these lines and determine the crystal system to which the element belongs. Also calculate the
lattice parameter.
The powder pattern of an element is made with CuKα, λ= 1.54178 radiation contains 10
lines whose Sin2θ values are 0.1118, 0.1487, 0.294, 0.403, 0.439, 0.583, 0.691, 0.727,
0.872, 0.981. Index these lines and determined the crystal system to which the element
belongs. Also calculate the lattice parameter.
