The energy of a silver atom with a vacancy in K shell is 25.31 keV, in L shell is 3.56 keV and in M shell is 0.530 keV higher than the energy of the atom with no vacancy. Find the frequency of `K_alpha`, `K_beta` and `L_alpha` X-rays of silver.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `E_K=25.31 KeV, `
` E_L=3.56KeV, `
` E_M=0.530KeV `
` :. K_alpha=E_K-E_L=hf `
`f=(E_k-E_L)/h`
` (25.31-3.56)/(6.67xx10^-34xx1.6xx10^-19xx10^3)`
` = (21.75xx10^3xx10^15)/6.67 `
` = 5.25xx10^18Hz `
` K_beta=(E_K-E_M)/h `
` (25.31-0.53)/(6.67xx10^-34)xx10^3xx1.6xx10^-19 `
` 5.985xx10^18 Hz`

The energy of a tungsten atom with a vacancy in L small is 11.3 KaV . Wavelength of K_(alpha) photon for tungsten is 21.3 "pm" . If a potential difference of 62 kV is applied across the X -raystube following characterstic X-rays will be produced.

The Ka X-ray of molybdenum has wavelength 71 pm. If the energy of a molybdenum atom with a K electron knocked out is 23:32 keV, what will be the energy of this atom when an L electron is knocked out?

Show that the frequency of K_beta X-ray of a material equals the sum of the frequencies of K_alpha and L_alpha X-rays of the same material. (##HCV_VOL2_C44_S01_006_Q01##)

In problems involving electromagenetism it is often convenlent and informative to express answers in terms of a constant, alpha , which is a combination of the Coulomb constant, k_(e) = 1//4piepsi_(0) , the charge of the electron, e, and h = h//2 , h being Planck's constant. For instant, the lowest energy that a hydrogen atom can have is given by E = 1//2 alpha^(2) mc^(2) , wherer m is the mass of the electron and c is the speed of light. Which of the following is the correct expression for alpha ? (HINt : non-relativistic kinetic energy is 1//2 mv^(2) , where v is speed.)

Statement-1 : The frequency of K_(alpha) X-radiation is greater than K_(beta) for a given target material. and Statement-2 : K_(alpha) radiation is produced when an electron from n = 2 jumps into the vacancy in n = 1 orbit, whereas in K_(beta) radiation the transition takes place from n = 2 to n = 1 .

A cubical box of side 1 m contains helium gas (atomic weight 4) at a pressure of 100 N//m^2 . During an observation time of 1 second , an atom travelling with the root - mean - square speed parallel to one of the edges of the cube, was found to make 500 hits with a particular wall, without any collision with other atoms .

The mass of a nucleus ._(Z)^(A)X is less that the sum of the masses of (A-Z) number of neutrons and Z number of protons in the nucleus.The energy equivalent to the corresponding mass difference is known as the binding energy of the nucleus. A heavy nucleus of mass M can break into two light nuclei of masses m_(1) and m_(2) only if (m_(1)+m_(2)) lt M . Also two light nuclei of masses m_(3) and m_(4) can undergo complete fusion and form a heavy nucleus of mass M'. only if (m_(3)+m_(4)) gt M' .
