Which of the following statements is true? (There can be one or more correct answers)
XRF can be used to determine the structure of crystalline materials
XRD and XRF can be used to identify liquid materials
XRD can be used to identify crystalline materials
XRD can be used to identify amorphous materials

XRF can be used to determine elemental composition of the sample
When comparing WD-XRF and ED-XRF, which statements are correct? (There can be one or more correct answers)
In WD-XRF, all the emitted fluorescence radiation reaches the detector at once; in ED-XRF, the detector detects all the fluorescent X-rays element by element
ED-XRF uses pulse-height discriminator to electronically classify the results; WD-XRF does not have an automatic classifier
In ED-XRF, all the emitted fluorescence radiation reaches the detector at once; in WD-XRF, the detector detects all the fluorescent X-rays element by element
WD-XRF uses pulse-height discriminator to electronically classify the results; ED-XRF does not have an automatic classifier
What are the disadvantages of WD-XRF? (There can be one or more correct answers)
For the quantitative analysis, minimum of 1 g sample powder is needed
Can’t detect lighter elements than aluminium
Can’t detect carbon in the sample
Impossible to analyse directly amorpheous materials
Which statements about the analysis of XRD patterns (diffractograms) are correct? (There can be one or more correct answers)
Analysis of XRD patterns is complicated and is typically done by a specialist
It is possible to determine if amorphous material is present in the mixture
It is possible to determine which crystalline phases are in a mixture
Interpretation of XRD diffractogram is easier compared to the interpretation of WD-XRF spectrum
It is possible to identify all the inorganic and organic materials
For the interpretation, library of known crystalline structures is used
