X-rays are used to produce the diffraction pattern because their wavelength λ is typically the same order of magnitude (1–100 angstroms) as the spacing d between planes in the crystal.
Why do X-rays diffract?
X-ray diffraction is based on constructive interference of monochromatic X-rays and a crystalline sample. These X-rays are generated by a cathode ray tube, filtered to produce monochromatic radiation, collimated to concentrate, and directed toward the sample.

Do X-rays show diffraction?
X-rays are used to produce the diffraction pattern because their wavelength, λ, is often the same order of magnitude as the spacing, d, between the crystal planes (1-100 angstroms).
