उत्तर
Given:
Energy of Kα X-ray, E = 3.69 keV = 3690 eV
Wavelength (λ) is given by
`λ = (hc)/E`
`λ = 1242/3690`
`λ = 0.33658 "nm"`
⇒ `λ = 0.34 xx 10^-9 "m"`
From Moseley's equation,
`sqrt(c/lambda) = a(Z - b)`
Here, c = speed of light
`lambda` = wavelength of light
Z = atomic number of element
On substituting the respective values,
`sqrt((3 xx 10^8)/(0.34 xx 10^-9))` = `5 xx 10^7(Z - 1.39)`
`⇒ sqrt(8.82 xx 10^17) = 5 xx 10^7(Z - 1.39)`
`⇒ 9.39 xx 10^8 = 5 xx 10^7(Z - 1.39)`
`⇒ 93.9/5 = Z - 1.39`
`⇒ Z = 93.9/5 + 1.39`
= 20.17 = 20
So, the element is calcium.

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.
- What wavelength of radiation is needed to excite the atom to energy level E2 from E1?
- Suppose the external source has a power of 100 W. What would be the rate of photon emission?
