उत्तर
Given:-
Wavelength of Kβ X-ray of argon, λ = 0.36 nm
Energy needed to ionise an argon atom = 16 eV
Energy of Kβ X-ray of argon (E) is given by
`E = 1242/0.36 = 3450 "eV"`
Energy needed to knock out an electron from K shell
EK = (3450 + 16) eV
EK = 3466 eV ≈ 3.47 keV

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.
