How to Calculate the Energy and Wavelength of K-alpha X-rays for Aluminum?

[ghallya]

hi All

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

I hope someone replys soooon

google for the x-ray data booklet. it's got all the emission energies for all elements listed.

Gokul, that's a great link.

And I stumbled across this one - http://www.csrri.iit.edu/periodic-table.html - in which one clicks on the element to see X-ray properties.

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

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

10.2eV (Z-1)power of two
