Question: With the reference to the figure below, electron microscopy indicates that the grain size of the milled powder ( a ) is in the range

With the reference to the figure below, electron microscopy indicates that the grain size of the milled powder (a) is in the range of 10-50nm and that of the consolidated powder (b) is 5m and above. On the basis that the increased broadening in (a) arises solely as a result of the fine crystallite size, show that the X-ray data is consistent with the microscopical data.
Fig. 10.19. Diffractometer charts radiation, {:=1.541) showing the first three reflections for a steel specimen (-Fe, bcc) in (a) the annealed condition and (b) after heavy surface abrasion giving broadened and shifted X-ray diffraction peaks which arise from residual stresses on the microand macroscale and a reduction in crystallite size.

 With the reference to the figure below, electron microscopy indicates that
