A tetrahedral site in a close-packed lattice is formed by


A tetrahedral site in a close-packed lattice is formed by four spheres at the corners of a regular tetrahedron. This is equivalent to placing the spheres at alternate corners of a cube. In such a close-packed arrangement the spheres are in contact and if the spheres have a radius r, the diagonal of the face of the cube is 2r. The tetrahedral hole is inside the middle of the cube.

A)Find the length of the body diagonal of this cube.

B)Find the radius of the tetrahedral hole.
