Video transcript

Hello everyone today, you're being given the falling problem, consider a primitive cubic lattice. If you pull the top straight up, keeping all of the angles at 90°, determine the primitive lattice that is formed. So it's been determined that we have alpha, beta and gamma angles. And so for this primitive cubic witty's, that's going to be Also 90° angles and the angles are not going to change. So the angles of this new structure are also going to be 90°. And so we also have the three different sides that we have to take into account for cubic, we have a ecocide P equals site C. For this new structure. However, since we are only pulling the top straight up, we are altering a certain side and in that case A is equal to B. However, they are not equal to side C. And so whenever we have this configuration here, this is going to be known as a tetra Matisse. And so that's going to be our answer for this question here. I hope this helped. And until next time.
