Abstract
In many applications it is necessary to determine the diffraction pattern due to monochromatic radiation. When the x-ray beam contains two frequencies α1 and α2, the experimental pattern P(2θ) equals the sum of the contributions f(2θ) and kf(2θ−δ) of the α1 and α2 components. In this paper a graphical method of determining f(2θ) from P(2θ) is given, with the assumption that f(2θ) is symmetrical. The area A(2θ) under the P(2θ) curve is plotted, from which the position of the maximum and the shape of f(2θ) is easily determined. In this construction it is not necessary for P(2θ) to have a well-defined zero.
