AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the time taken by an iron Kα photon and a calcium Kα photon to cross a distance of 3 km, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the speed of photons Photons, regardless of their energy or type (in this case, Kα X-rays from iron and calcium), travel at the speed of light, denoted as \( c \). The speed of light is approximately: \[ c = 3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s} \] ...
