उत्तर
A body at a particular temperature produces a continuous spectrum of wavelengths. In the case of a black body, the wavelength corresponding to the maximum intensity of radiation is given according to Planck’s law. It can be given by the relation,
`lambda_"m" = 0.29/"T" "cm K"`
Where,
λm = maximum wavelength
T = temperature
Thus, the temperature for different wavelengths can be obtained as:
For λm = 10−4 cm; T = `0.29/10^-4` = 2900°K
For λm = 5 ×10−5 cm; T = `0.29/(5 xx 10^-5)` = 5800°K
For λm = 10−6 cm; T = `0.29/10^-6` = 290000°K and so on.
The numbers obtained tell us that temperature ranges are required for obtaining radiations in different parts of an electromagnetic spectrum. As the wavelength decreases, the corresponding temperature increases.

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.

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.

- Suppose the external source has a power of 100 W. What would be the rate of photon emission?
