Construct the plane which has Miller indices ( 23).

Miller indices 2 3Fractional intercepts -1 1/2 1/3

The axial lengths are not given, therefore we assumethey are unity.

Determine the Miller indices of the plane shown in the figure.

Answer:• The unknown plane goes through the origin, therefore we need to translate it parallel to itself.• We will work with the translated plane.
