To calculate the wavelength of the emitted characteristic X-ray from a tungsten target when an electron drops from the M shell to a vacancy in the K shell, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Transition The transition is from the M shell (n=3) to the K shell (n=1). This transition is known as the K-beta line. ### Step 2: Use the Rydberg Formula for X-rays The wavelength of the emitted X-ray can be calculated using the modified Rydberg formula for X-rays: \[ ...
