Homework Statement



In uranium (Z=92) the K absorption edge is 0.107 Å and the Kα line is 0.126 Å. Determine the wavelength of the L absorption edge.

Homework Equations



K-edge: EK= (Z-1)2*13.6
L-edge: EL= (Z-σL)2*13.6*1/4
what is σ and how was calculated.
Characteristic X-rays: Ex = h*ν= h*c/λ= ΔEkin = Ekin(i)-Ekin(f)
Bremsstrahlung: Emax=Ekin(i)

The Attempt at a Solution


λL= 0.71 Å
