XRD instrument works such a way that angle of incident(theta) = angle of reflection to maintain a constant focusing distance by changing relative positions of incident x ray, sample surface and reflected x ray. So the angle between incident and reflected x ray will be 2 theta.For enriching your knowledge you can go through the following DOI/article.
