Angle Between Two Planes or Directions

Consider a cube having two planes ABCD and EFCD inclined at an angle 'θ' with each other as shown in Fig.0.25.

Angle Between Two Planes or Directions

Consider a cube having two planes ABCD and EFCD inclined at an angle 'θ' with each other as shown in Fig.0.25.


Let h1, k1 and l1 = Miller indices of plane ABCD; and

h2, k2 and l2 = Miller indices of plane EFCD.

e angle 'θ' between these two planes is given by the relation,
