The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the atomic number \( z_2 \) of an atom that emits K-alpha radiation with a wavelength of \( 4\lambda \), given that an atom with atomic number \( z_1 = 11 \) emits K-alpha radiation with a wavelength of \( \lambda \).
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding the relationship**: The wavelength \( \lambda \) of K-alpha radiation is related to the atomic number \( z \) by the formula:
\[
\lambda \propto \frac{1}{(z - 1)^2}
\]
This implies:
\[
(z - 1)^2 \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}
\]
2. **Setting up the equations**: For two different atomic numbers \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \) with corresponding wavelengths \( \lambda_1 \) and \( \lambda_2 \):
\[
(z_1 - 1)^2 = K \cdot \lambda_1 \quad \text{and} \quad (z_2 - 1)^2 = K \cdot \lambda_2
\]
Here, \( K \) is a proportionality constant.
3. **Taking the ratio**: We can take the ratio of the two equations:
\[
\frac{(z_1 - 1)^2}{(z_2 - 1)^2} = \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}
\]
4. **Substituting known values**: We know:
- \( z_1 = 11 \)
- \( \lambda_1 = \lambda \)
- \( \lambda_2 = 4\lambda \)
Substituting these values into the ratio gives:
\[
\frac{(11 - 1)^2}{(z_2 - 1)^2} = \frac{4\lambda}{\lambda}
\]
Simplifying this, we have:
\[
\frac{(10)^2}{(z_2 - 1)^2} = 4
\]
5. **Calculating \( z_2 - 1 \)**: From the equation:
\[
\frac{100}{(z_2 - 1)^2} = 4
\]
We can rearrange this to find \( (z_2 - 1)^2 \):
\[
(z_2 - 1)^2 = \frac{100}{4} = 25
\]
6. **Solving for \( z_2 \)**: Taking the square root of both sides:
\[
z_2 - 1 = 5 \quad \text{or} \quad z_2 - 1 = -5
\]
Thus, we find:
\[
z_2 = 6 \quad \text{(since atomic number cannot be negative)}
\]
### Final Answer:
The atomic number \( z_2 \) for the atom that emits K-alpha radiation with a wavelength of \( 4\lambda \) is \( 6 \).
To solve the problem, we need to find the atomic number \( z_2 \) of an atom that emits K-alpha radiation with a wavelength of \( 4\lambda \), given that an atom with atomic number \( z_1 = 11 \) emits K-alpha radiation with a wavelength of \( \lambda \).
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding the relationship**: The wavelength \( \lambda \) of K-alpha radiation is related to the atomic number \( z \) by the formula:
\[
\lambda \propto \frac{1}{(z - 1)^2}
