Relative to the energy of the atom with no vacancy, the energy of a silver atom with a vacancy in the shell is higher, in the shell is higher, and in the shell is higher. Determine the frequency of the , , and X-rays of silver.
Options
- A, ,
- B, ,
- C, ,
- D, ,
Correct answer
B. , ,
Step-by-step solution
The energy of the atom with a vacancy in the , , and shells are given as , , and .
The energy of the emitted X-ray photon is the difference between the energies of the atom with vacancies in the respective shells.
For the X-ray, the transition is from the shell to the shell (the atom goes from a -vacancy to an -vacancy):
For the X-ray, the transition is from the shell to the shell (the atom goes from a -vacancy to an -vacancy):
For the X-ray, the transition is from the shell to the shell (the atom goes from an -vacancy to an -vacancy):
Using the relation , where and :
