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: \[ \lambda \propto \frac{1}{(z - 1)^2} \] ...
