To solve the problem, we need to find the atomic number of the element that produces X-ray wavelengths down to 1 Å (angstrom) given that the shortest wavelength of the Balmer series for hydrogen is 3644 Å. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Shortest Wavelength of the Balmer Series**: The shortest wavelength of the Balmer series corresponds to the transition from n=2 to n=∞. The formula for the wavelength in the Balmer series is given by: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = RZ^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) ...
