MaxL yes I know β= 1/kBT and have substituted β intentionally but what I am asking is how can i get a numerical value for β to work out the temperature? or do i need to? I'm just confused
thanks
Homework Statement
A quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator with resonance frequency ω is placed in an environment at temperature T. Its mean excitation energy (above the ground state energy) is 0.3ħω.
Determine the temperature of this system in units of its Einstein-temperature ΘE = ħω/kB...
sorry I've confused you there :) yes the question does ask about x-ray photons being produced by a Cu target. Nevermind, I will see my tutor tomorrow and get him to clarify things. Will keep this thread updated once the question makes sense, hopefully solving it and marking the thread as...
When x-rays strike an electron on a copper surface this produces a radiation and a recoiling electron. However this radiation is not in the form of gamma or beta rays (correct me if I'm wrong here)
The question seems to be missing something and I can't think of anything else that would relate...
Hi, I need some guidance on a particular question for my coursework.
The questions states: Calculate the wavelength of L(alpha) and L(beta) x-ray photons produced from a copper target (Z=29)
I have tried finding the wavelength using E=hc/lambda and re-arranged for lambda (lambda=hc/E)...
