The metal potassium crystallizes in a body centered cubic unit cell. When X-rays with A-2.103 A are used, the second-order Bragg reflection from a set of parallel planes in a(n) potassium crystal is observed at an angle 0-23.25°. If the spacing between these planes corresponds to the unit cell length (da), calculate the edge length of the potassium unit cell.

Solve correctly please. Should correct (Gpt/Ai wrong answer not allowed)
The metal potassium crystallizes in a body centered cubic unit cell. When X-rays with λ = 2.103 A are used, the second-order Bragg
reflection from a set of parallel planes in a(n) potassium crystal is observed at an angle 0 = 23.25°. If the spacing between these
planes corresponds to the unit cell length (d = a), calculate the edge length of the potassium unit cell.
