The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the atomic number \( Z \) of the element that has a \( K_{\alpha} \) X-ray line with a wavelength of \( 1.8 \, \text{Å} \). We will use the formula relating the wavelength \( \lambda \) to the atomic number \( Z \): \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(Z - b)^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \] Where: - \( R \) is the Rydberg constant, given as \( 1.1 \times 10^7 \, \text{m}^{-1} \) - \( b \) is given as \( 1 \) - \( n_1 = 1 \) and \( n_2 = 2 \) for the \( K_{\alpha} \) transition. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Convert Wavelength to Meters:** \[ \lambda = 1.8 \, \text{Å} = 1.8 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \] 2. **Calculate \( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \):** \[ n_1 = 1, \quad n_2 = 2 \] \[ \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} = \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \] 3. **Substituting into the Formula:** \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(Z - b)^2 \left( \frac{3}{4} \right) \] Substituting \( R \) and \( b \): \[ \frac{1}{1.8 \times 10^{-10}} = 1.1 \times 10^7 (Z - 1)^2 \left( \frac{3}{4} \right) \] 4. **Calculate \( \frac{1}{\lambda} \):** \[ \frac{1}{1.8 \times 10^{-10}} \approx 5.56 \times 10^9 \, \text{m}^{-1} \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation:** \[ 5.56 \times 10^9 = 1.1 \times 10^7 (Z - 1)^2 \left( \frac{3}{4} \right) \] \[ (Z - 1)^2 = \frac{5.56 \times 10^9}{1.1 \times 10^7 \times \frac{3}{4}} \] 6. **Calculating the Right Side:** \[ (Z - 1)^2 = \frac{5.56 \times 10^9}{8.25 \times 10^6} \approx 674.55 \] \[ Z - 1 = \sqrt{674.55} \approx 25.94 \] 7. **Finding \( Z \):** \[ Z \approx 25.94 + 1 \approx 26.94 \] Rounding to the nearest whole number, we find: \[ Z \approx 27 \] ### Conclusion The element with a \( K_{\alpha} \) X-ray line of wavelength \( 1.8 \, \text{Å} \) corresponds to the atomic number \( Z = 27 \), which is **Cobalt (Co)**.
