Question
Define the term "Intensity" in the photon picture of electromagnetic radiation.

Solution
The intensity I is defined as the total amount of energy falling on a given surface/Region per unit time 'rand per unit area A:
If the total energy emitted = nhv
Then, I = `(nhν)/(At)`

Name the waves used for taking photographs in dark.
Characteristic X-rays may be used to identify the element from which they are being emitted. Can continuous X-rays be used for this purpose?
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.
