The energy of a silver atom with a vacan...

The energy of a silver atom with a vacancy in K shell is 25.31 keV, in L shell is 3.56 keV and in M shell is 0.530 keV higher than the energy of the atom with no vacancy. Find the frequency of `K_alpha`, `K_beta` and `L_alpha` X-rays of silver.

To find the frequencies of K_alpha, K_beta, and L_alpha X-rays of silver, we will use the energy differences between the shells and Planck's equation, which relates energy and frequency. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Energy Values**: - Energy of the silver atom with a vacancy in the K shell (EK) = 25.31 keV - Energy of the silver atom with a vacancy in the L shell (EL) = 3.56 keV - Energy of the silver atom with a vacancy in the M shell (EM) = 0.530 keV ...

Simplified model of electron energy levels for a cartain atom is shown in figure. The atom is bombarded will fast moving electrons. The impact of one of these electrons can cause the removal of electron from K-level , thus, creating a vacancy in the K-level. This vacancy in K-level is filled by an electron from l-level and the energy reased in this transition can either appear as electromagnetic waves or may all be used knock out an electron from M-level of the atom. Based on above information, answer the following question: Wavelength of the electromagnetic waves emitted due to transition from L to K-level is
