Copper K-α is an x-ray energy frequently used on labscale x-ray instruments. The energy is 8.04 keV, which corresponds to an x-ray wavelength of 1.5406 Å.

This causes the prefactor in the scattering equation to be:

k = 2 π λ = 4.0784 Å − 1 {\displaystyle k={\frac {2π }{λ }}=4.0784\,\mathrm {Å} ^-1}
