Structure-Factor Intensity Ledgers

Intensity Ratio Uses Two Cited Peaks

A ratio is accepted only when both peak intensities are cited. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

The ratio cites two checked peaks

The high peak has intensity 16 and the low peak has intensity 4.

The exact ratio is four to one

The source-bound ratio is 4 to 1.
