Crystals are regular arrays of atoms, and X-rays can be considered waves of electromagnetic radiation. ... X-rays are used to produce the diffraction pattern because their wavelength λ is typically the same order of magnitude (1–100 angstroms) as the spacing d between planes in the crystal.

● solid crystal act as three dimensional grating to x - rays. X rays give diffraction bands on passing through crystals. so X- rays are used to study the solids .
