Explanation:
The ratio between the unit cell length and the separation of two adjacent parallel crystal planes is known as the Miller indices of the plane. For a simple cubic lattice, the Miller indices of the planes are expressed as (hkl), where h, k, and l are integers representing the intercepts of the planes on the three axes.
The distance between two adjacent parallel crystal planes of a simple cubic lattice can be calculated using the formula:
d = a/√(h^2 + k^2 + l^2)
where a is the length of the unit cell.
To find the value of d/a, we can simplify the above formula as:
d/a = 1/√(h^2 + k^2 + l^2)
Therefore, the value of d/a depends on the values of h, k, and l.
Now, let's consider the given options:
a) d/a = 5^(1/2)/1 = 5^(1/2)
b) d/a = 13^(1/2)/1 = 13^(1/2)
c) d/a = 11^(1/2)/2 = 5.5
d) d/a = 7^(1/2)/1 = 7^(1/2)
We can see that option D has a value of d/a that is not expressible as a simple radical or a rational number. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
In summary, the Miller indices of a simple cubic lattice can be used to calculate the distance between adjacent parallel crystal planes. The value of d/a depends on the values of h, k, and l, and not all values are expressible as simple radicals or rational numbers.

We know that
d=a/(h^2+k^2+l^2)
for scc any (hkl) can be taken
let MI (210)
a/d(hkl)=5^(1/2)
MI (311)
a/d= 11^(1/2)
MI(320)
a/d=13^(1/2)
Therefore option d is not possible
