Homework Statement
5 The energy levels of a molybdenum atom are approximately:
K shell ….. – 20.00 KeV
L shell …... – 2.52 KeV
M shell …... – 0.23 KeV
i) Estimate the energy of the Kα, K[tex]\beta[/tex] and Lα x-ray emissions.
ii) What are the wavelengths of these emissions?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I think K[tex]\alpha[/tex] is from L shell to k shell??
so EK[tex]\alpha[/tex]=-2.52KeV--20KeV
E=17.48KeV
and the K[tex]\beta[/tex] is from M shell to K shell?
then find the difference again for the energy
I don't know what the L[tex]\alpha[/tex] is but possibly L shell to ground state or M shell to L shell??
not sure if anything I am doing there is right?
ii)
shouldn't be hard once I have energy's
E=hf so E=hc/[tex]\lambda[/tex]
not sure if anything I am doing here is right?
Thanks for any help!
