The wavelength of `K_alpha` and `L_alpha` X-rays of a material are 21.3 pm and 141 pm respectively. Find the wavelength of `K_beta` X-ray of the material.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `E_1=1242/(21.3xx10^-3) =58.309xx10^-3`
` =E_2=1242/(141xx10^-5) `
` 8.8085 xx10^3eV `
` E_3=E_1+E_2 `
` (58.309+8.909)10eV `
` =67.118xx10^3eV `
` lambda=(hc)/E^3=1242/(67.118xx10^3) `
` =18.5xx10^-3nm=18.5p m`
