AI Generated Solution

To calculate the wavelength of the K-alpha line for a target made of tungsten (Z = 74), we can use the formula derived from the Rydberg formula for hydrogen-like atoms: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Formula**: The wavelength (λ) of the K-alpha line can be calculated using the formula: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R \cdot (Z - 1)^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) ...
