(a)
The ionization energies of the L, M and N shells.
(a)
Answer to Problem 38P
The ionization energies for the L shell is
Explanation of Solution
The figure 1 shows the transitions from higher levels N shell down to K shell.
The K series includes the transition from higher levels down to the K shell
The ionization energy for the K shell is
Write the expression for energy of the photon.
Here,
Conclusion:
Substitute
Convert the energy of the photon into kilo electron volt.
Substitute
Convert the energy of the photon into kilo electron volt.
Substitute
Convert the energy of the photon into kilo electron volt.
Similarly the table 1 shows the ionization energy for the shells.
Photon energy | transition | Energy of level | level | |
67.03 | N | |||
59.3 | M | |||
57.7 | L |
The ionization energy for the K shell is
Therefore, the ionization energies for the L shell is
(b)
Draw the diagram of the transition.
(b)
Answer to Problem 38P
The table 1 shows the transition of the X-ray spectrum of tungsten element.
Explanation of Solution
From (a) The table shows the transition of the X ray spectrum..
Photon energy | transition | Energy of level | level | |
67.03 | N | |||
59.3 | M | |||
57.7 | L |
Conclusion:
Therefore, the table 1 shows the transition of the X-ray spectrum of tungsten element..
