-
and the reason is because you're measuring the phase
-
perpendicular to different directions of the wave.
-
That's just to help you out, if you try this and have --
-
and are confused by that.
-
Okay, now there are --
-
so suppose you have just an arbitrary set of electrons,
-
and the waves coming in and hitting them,
-
what directions will you get reinforcement in?
-
Well, there are two directions that you're guaranteed,
-
no matter what the spacing is
-
and that's this.
