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?

Step by step solution

01

The given data:

a) Wavelength of theKline,K=63pm

b) Wavelength of theKline,K=70pm

d) A substance absorbs x1radiation more strongly than radiation x2given that the elements absorbKradiation more than theKradiation.

02

Understanding the concept of wavelength and radiations:

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 Planck's relation and the given wavelengths of the K-lines, to get the required energy for excitation. Again, by comparing the calculated energy for the case of required energy with elements that the element can radiate, to get the elements suitable for the experiment.

Formulae:

The energy of the photon due to Planck鈥檚 relation,

E=hc 鈥.. (1)

Consider the known data below.

The Plank鈥檚 constant is,

h=6.6310-34J.s=6.24210156.6310-34keV.s=41.38410-19keV.s

The speed of light is,

c=3108m/s=31081012pm/s=31020pm/s

03

(a) Calculation of the wavelength of Kα radiation:

Using the given wavelength of the Kline in equation (1), the value of the photon energy that corresponds to the Kradiation is as follows:

E=41.38410-19keV.s31020pm/s63pm=1240keV.pm63pm=19.7keV20keV

Hence, the value of the photon energy is 20 keV.

04

(b) Calculation of the wavelength of Kβ radiation:

Using the given wavelength of theKline in equation (1), the value of the photon energy that corresponds to theKradiation is as follows:

E=1240keV.pm70pm=17.7keV18keV

Hence, the value of the photon energy is 18 keV .

05

(c) Calculation for the element that is best suited for this radiation:

According to the problem, the value of Kradiation energy 18 keV is highly absorbed by the elements. Thus, both Zr and Nb are best suited for the usage since,

E<18.00keV<E,forZrE<18.99keV<E,forNb

But among these, the best suited one is Zr as it is nearest to the photon energy value.

Hence, the best suited one isZr.

06

(d) Calculation for the element that is second best suited for this radiation

From the comparison in part (c), the element next to the nearest value of the photon energy is Nb .

Hence, the material second best is Nb.

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)?

A hydrogen atom in its ground state actually has two possible, closely spaced energy levels because the electron is in the magnetic field Bof the proton (the nucleus). Accordingly, energy is associated with the orientation of the electron鈥檚 magnetic moment relative to B, and the electron is said to be either spin up (higher energy) or spin down (lower energy) in that field. If the electron is excited to the higher energy level, it can de-excite by spin-flipping and emitting a photon. The wavelength associated with that photon is 21 cm. (Such a process occurs extensively in the Milky Way galaxy, and reception of the 21 cm radiation by radio telescopes reveals where hydrogen gas lies between stars.) What is the effective magnitude of Bas experienced by the electron in the ground-state hydrogen atom?

Martian CO2laser. Where sunlight shines on the atmosphere of Mars, carbon dioxide molecules at an altitude of about 75 km undergo natural laser action. The energy levels involved in the action are shown in Fig. 40-26; population inversion occurs between energy levels E1and E2. (a) What wavelength of sunlight excites the molecules in the lasing action? (b) At what wavelength does lasing occur? (c) In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum do the excitation and lasing wavelengths lie?

When electrons bombard a molybdenum target, they produce both continuous and characteristic x-rays as shown in Fig. 40-13. In that figure the kinetic energy of the incident electrons is 35.0 keV. If the accelerating potential is increased to 50.0 keV, (a) what is the value of min, and (b) do the wavelengths of the role="math" localid="1661497027757" kand klines increase, decrease, or remain the same?
