JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 12. atoms

The \(K_{\alpha}\; X-\)ray of molybdenum has wavelength \(0.071\, {nm}\). If the energy of a molybdenum atoms 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) \(\left[{h}=4.14 \times 10^{-15} \,{eVs}, {c}=3 \times 10^{8}\, {ms}^{-1}\right.]\)

  1. A \(27.5\)
  2. B \(17.5\)
  3. C \(13.6\)
  4. D \(10\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know \({E}_{k_{a}}=E_{k}-E_{L}\) \(\frac{h c}{\lambda_{k_{a}}}=E_{k}-E_{L}\) \(E_{L}= E_{k}-\frac{h c}{\lambda_{k_{a}}}\) \(=27.5 {KeV}-\frac{12.42 \times 10^{-7}\, {eV\,m}}{0.071 \times 10^{-9}\, {m}}\) \(E_{L}=(27.5-17.5)\, {keV}\) \(=10\,{keV}\)
