  Calculating Angle between 2 Planes     2 of 3
 

Calculating the angle between two planes

For cubic crystals, the angle, f between two planes, (h1 k1 l1) and (h2 k2 l2) is given by:

Equation 1

Example:

Calculate the angle between the (111) and (200) planes.

From the above,

Equation 2
Equation 3

which produces the result, f = 54.75°.

(100) ^  (200) planes
