Question

The K alpha x-ray is the one emitted when an electron undergoes a transition from the L shell (n=2) to the K shell (n=1). Let's calculate the frequency of the K alpha x-ray from a target with Z=35. First, calculate the energy of the K-shell electron.

Now, calculate the energy of the L-shell electron, given that there is only one electron in the n=1 level.

Finally, calculate the frequency of the K alpha x-ray from this target.
