Aside from a higher standard deviation, how does the weighted average lambda value for CuK employed when it comes to XRAY Diffraction provide a more accurate answer?
The specific wavelenths are characterstics of target material for example different for copper, iron, chromium, etc.,
there spectra consist of several components of close wavelenths, filtering , by foils or crystal monochrometers is required to produce monochromatic X rays needed for diffraction. components are close in wavelength such that a weighted average of two is used.
