SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the energy and wavelength of K-alpha X-rays for aluminum. Participants recommend using the X-ray data booklet, specifically the link to the LBNL X-ray Data Booklet, which contains emission energies for various elements. The equation 10.2 eV (Z-1)2 is suggested for estimating X-ray energy for specific elements, confirming its applicability for calculations related to X-ray emissions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of K-alpha X-rays and their significance in spectroscopy
  • Familiarity with the equation 10.2 eV (Z-1)2 for calculating X-ray energy
  • Knowledge of the periodic table and atomic numbers (Z) of elements
  • Access to X-ray data resources, such as the LBNL X-ray Data Booklet
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the LBNL X-ray Data Booklet for comprehensive emission energy data
  • Explore the application of the equation 10.2 eV (Z-1)2 for other elements
  • Learn about the properties of K-alpha X-rays and their applications in material analysis
  • Investigate additional resources for X-ray emission data, such as the CSRRI periodic table
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and students in materials science or spectroscopy who need to calculate X-ray energies and understand their applications in various fields.

hi All

can someone help me , how can I find the energy and the wavelength of the K-alpha x-rays of aluminum ,please ?:frown:

I hope someone replys soooon
 
Physics news on Phys.org
google for the x-ray data booklet. it's got all the emission energies for all elements listed.
 
o:) can you give me a link please

thanx
 
Thank you very much , I really appreciate your help
 
Indeed it is. The yellow book is sort of a minibible for everyone working with x-rays.
 
Do we can apply this equation to estimate the x-ray energy for specific elements?

10.2 ev (Z-1)2
 
Equation

Can we apply this equation in order to calculate the x-ray emission for each element?

10.2eV (Z-1)power of two
