In Fig. 40-13, the x-rays shown are produced when 35.0 keV electrons strike a molybdenum (Z = 42) target. If the accelerating potential is maintained at this value but a silver (Z = 47) target is used instead, what values of (a)min, (b) the wavelength of the Kline, and (c) the wavelength of the K line result? The K,L and M atomic x-ray levels for silver (compare Fig. 40-15) are 25.51, 3.56 and 0.53 keV.

  1. The value of the minimum wavelength is 35.4 pm.
  2. The wavelength of the Kline is 56.5 pm.
  3. The wavelength of theK line result is .

Step by step solution

01

The given data:

  1. The x-rays are produced due to the striking of 35 keV electrons on a molybdenum (Z = 42) target.
  2. In the second case, a silver target (Z = 47) is used.
  3. The K,L and M levels of silver are 25.51 ,3.56 and 0.53 keV .

Understanding the concept of wavelength due to transition between two states:

Photon energy is the energy carried by a single photon. The amount of energy is directly proportional to the magnetic frequency of the photon and thus, equally, equates to the wavelength of the wave. When the frequency of photons is high, its potential is high.

Using the basic Planck's relation, the minimum wavelength produced due to the strike and the resulting production of the X-rays. Now, for the given emitted energy for each level for the silver atom, the energy difference for each transition, and thus using this energy, the minimum wavelength in each case.

Formulas:

The kinetic energy gained by the electron is,

E=eV 鈥.. (1)

Here, e is the charge and V is the accelerating potential difference.

The energy of the photon due to Planck鈥檚 relation is,

E=hc 鈥.. (2)

Here, h is the Plank鈥檚 constant , c is the speed of light, and is the wavelength.

(a) Calculation of the minimum wavelength for the element, molybdenum:

Consider the known data as below.

The Plank鈥檚 constant, h=6.6310-34J.s

The speed of light, c=3108m/s

The charge, e=1.610-19J/eV

Using the given data in equation (1), the value of the minimum wavelength produced by the element, molybdenum after the strike of the rays is as follow.

=hcE=hceV 鈥.. (3)

Substitute known values in the above equation.

=6.6310-343108351031.610-19=3.5410-2nm=35.4pm

Hence, the value of the minimum wavelength is 35.4 pm.

04

(b) Calculation of the wavelength for the Kα line for the silver atom:

AsKphoton results when an electron in a target atom jumps from the L-shell to the K-shell, thus the energy of this photon is given by:

E=25.51keV-3.56keV=21.95keV

Now using this value in equation (3) of part (a), the wavelength of this line is as follow.

=hceV=6.6310-34310821.951031.610-19=5.6510-2nm=56.5pm

Hence, the value of the wavelength produced is 56.5 pm.

05

(c) Calculation of the wavelength for the Kβ line for the silver atom

AsKphoton results when an electron in a target atom jumps from the M-shell to the K-shell, thus the energy of this photon is given by,

E=25.51keV-0.53keV=24.98keV

Now using this value in equation (3) of part (a), the wavelength of this line is as follow.

=hceV=6.6310-34310824.981031.610-19=4.9610-2nm=49.6pm

Hence, the value of the wavelength produced is 49.6 pm.

The wavelength of the Kline from iron is 193 pm. What is the energy difference between the two states of the iron atom that give rise to this transition?

A molybdenum (Z = 42 ) target is bombarded with 35.0keV electrons and the x-ray spectrum of Fig. 40-13 results. The lines KandKwavelengths are 63.0 and 71.0pm, respectively. What photon energy corresponds to the (a) Kand(b) Kradiation? The two radiations are to be filtered through one of the substances in the following table such that the substance absorbs the K line more strongly than theK line. A substance will absorb radiation x1 more strongly than it absorbs radiationx2 if a photon of x1 has enough energy to eject an electron Keiectron from an atom of the substance but a photon of does not. The table gives the ionization energy of the Kelectron in molybdenum and four other substances. Which substance in the table will serve (c) best and (d) second best as the filter?


Figure 40-24 shows the energy levels of two types of atoms. Atoms A are in one tube, and atoms B are in another tube. The energies (relative to ground-state energy of zero) are indicated; the average lifetime of atoms in each level is also indicated. All the atoms are initially pumped to levels higher than the levels shown in the figure. The atoms then drop down through the levels, and many become 鈥渟tuck鈥 on certain levels, leading to population inversion and lasing. The light emitted by A illuminates B and can cause stimulated emission of B. What is the energy per photon of that stimulated emission of B?

Show that a moving electron cannot spontaneously change into an x-ray photon in free space. A third body (atom or nucleus) must be present. Why is it needed? (Hint: Examine the conservation of energy and momentum.)

A hypothetical atom has two energy levels, with a transition wavelength between them of . In a particular sample at 300 K,4.01020such atoms are in a state of lower energy. (a) How many atoms are in the upper state, assuming conditions of thermal equilibrium? (b) Suppose, instead, that3.0x1020 of these atoms are 鈥減umped鈥 into the upper state by an external process, with1.01020 atoms remaining in the lower state. What is the maximum energy that could be released by the atoms in a single laser pulse if each atom jumps once between those two states (either via absorption or via stimulated emission)?
