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

The wavelength of Kα X-ray of tungsten is 21.3 pm. It takes 11.3 keV to knock out an electron from the L shell of a tungsten atom. What should be the minimum accelerating voltage across an X-ray tube having tungsten target which allows production of Kα X-ray?
(Use Planck constant h = 6.63 × 10-34 Js= 4.14 × 10-15 eVs, speed of light c = 3 × 108 m/s.)
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.
