Iron emits Kα X-ray of energy 6.4 keV. Calculate the times taken by an iron Kα photon to cross through a distance of 3 km.
(Use Planck constant h = 4.14 × 10-15 eVs, speed of light c = 3 × 108 m/s.)

उत्तर
Given:
Energy of the X-ray, E = 6.4 keV
Distance travelled by the photon, d = 3 km = 3 `xx ` 103 m
Time taken by the photon to cross the distance of 3 km is given by
`t = "Distance"/"Speed" = (3 xx 10^3)/(3 xx 10^8)`
`t = 10^-5 "s" = 10 xx 10^-6 "s"`
`t = 10 mus`
Both the Kα photon and X-ray will take the same time, that is, 10 μs , to cross the distance of 3 km.

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.
