[edit]

The first sentence really just says that "complementary" means the same thing in regard to physics experiments that it means in regard to anything else. Knowledge of the ordinary vernacular language would tell any literate person ignorant of physics that much. Michael Hardy 22:57, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

incorrect explanation: nucleus "too small" to scatter x-rays??

[edit]

The second sentence states that "X-ray scattering ... gives no information about the nuclei (because they are too small to affect the X-rays significantly)" - but of course the nuclei are much LARGER than the electrons, which do affect the X-rays. I don't know the correct explanation, but this is surely not right, is it?
