In Uranium Z = 92 , the K absorption edge is 0 .107 Å and the K α line is 0 .126 Å . The wavelength of the L absorption edge is
Options
- A0 .7 Å
- B1 Å
- C2 Å
- D3 . 2 Å
Correct answer
A. 0 .7 Å
Step-by-step solution
Energy of K absorption edge is E K = h c λ K = 12.4 0.107 = 115.9 k e V , Energy of Kα line is E K a = E K - E L = h c λ a = 12.4 0.126 = 98.4 k e V Therefore energy of L absorption edge is L E L = ( E K ) - E ( K a ) = 115.9 - 98.4 L E L = 17.5 k e V The wavelength of the L absorption edge is λ L = h c E L = 12.4 k e V Å 17.5 k e V = 0.709 Å
