An X-ray tube operates at 40 kV. Suppose the electron converts 70% of its energy into a photon at each collision. Find the lowest there wavelengths emitted from the tube. Neglect the energy imparted to the atom with which the electron collides.
(Use Planck constant h = 6.63 × 10-34 Js= 4.14 × 10-15 eVs, speed of light c = 3 × 108 m/s.)

उत्तर
Given:-
Potential of the X-ray tube, V = 40 kV = 40 × 103 V
Energy = 40 × 103 eV
Energy utilised by the electron is given by `E = 70/100 xx 40 xx 10^3 = 28 xx 10^3 "eV"`
Wavelength (`lambda`) is given by
`lambda = (hc)/E`
Here,
h = Planck's constant
c = Speed of light
E = Energy of the electron
`therefore lambda = (hc)/E`
`⇒ lambda = (1242 "eV" - "nm")/(28 xx 10^3 "eV")`
`⇒ lambda = (1242 xx 10^-9 "eV")/(28 xx 10^3 "eV")`
`⇒ lambda = 44.35 xx 10^-12`
`⇒ lambda = 44.35 "pm"`
For the second wavelength,
E = 70% (Leftover energy)
`= 70/100 xx (40-28)10^3`
`= 70/100 xx 12 xx 10^3`
`= 84 xx 10^2 "eV"`
And
`lambda = (hc)/E = 1242/(8.4 xx 10^3)`
`= 147.86 xx 10^-3 "nm"`
`= 147.86 "pm" = 148 "pm"`
For the third wavelength,
`E = 70/100(12 - 8.4) xx 10^3`
`= 7 xx 3.6 xx 10^2 = 25.2 xx 10^2 "eV"`
And ,
`lambda = (hc)/E = 1242/(25.2 xx 10^2)`
`= 49.2857 xx 10^-2`
`= 493 "pm"`

Is it possible that in a Coolidge tube characteristic Lα X-rays are emitted but not Kα X-rays?
An X-ray beam can be deflected
Continuous X-rays are made to strike a tissue paper soaked with polluted water. The incoming X-rays excite the atoms of the sample by knocking out the electrons from the inner shells. Characteristic X-rays are analysed and the intensity is plotted against the wavelength. Assuming that only Kα intensities are detected, list the elements present in the sample from the plot. Use Moseley's equation v − (25 × 1014Hz)(Z − 1)2.

In an atom X, electrons absorb the energy from an external source. This energy “excites” the electrons from a lower-energy level to a higher-energy level around the nucleus of the atom. When electrons return to the ground state, they emit photons.
The figure below is the energy level diagram of atom X with three energy levels, E1 = 0.00eV, E2 = 1.78eV and E3 = 2.95eV. The ground state is considered 0 eV for reference. The transition of electrons takes place between levels E1 and E2.
