उत्तर
Given: c = 3 × 108 , ν = 2 × 1018 Hz
To find: Wavelength (λ)
Formula: c = νλ
Calculation: From formula,
λ = `"c"/ν=(3xx10^8)/(2xx10^18)` = 1.5 × 10−10 = 0.15 nm
The wavelength of an X-ray is 0.15 nm.

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.
