The Kα X-ray of molybdenum has wavelength 0.071 nm. If the energy of a molybdenum atom with a K electron knocked out is 27.5 keV, the energy of this atom when an L electron is knocked out will be keV. (Round off to the nearest integer ) h=4.14×10-15 eV s, c=3×108 m s-1

Solution

Ekα=Ek-EL

hcλkα=Ek-EL

EL=Ek-hcλkα

=27.5 KeV-12.42×10-7eV m0.071×10-9 m

EL=(27.5-17.5) keV

=10 keV
