A tungsten (Z=74) target is bombarded by electrons in an x-ray tube. The K,L and M energy levels for tungsten (compare Fig. 40-15) have the energies 69.5 keV,11.3 keV, and 2.30 keV respectively. (a) What is the minimum value of the accelerating potential that will permit the production of the characteristic and lines of tungsten? (b) For this same accelerating potential, what is ? What are the (c) and (d) wavelengths?
Ruby lasers are at a wavelength of 694 nm. A certain ruby crystal has Cr ions (which are the atoms that lase). The lasing transition is between the first excited state and the ground state, and the output is a light pulse lasting . As the pulse begins, 60.0% of the Cr ions are in the first excited state and the rest are in the ground state. What is the average power emitted during the pulse? (Hint:Don’t just ignore the ground-state ions.)
For a helium atom in its ground state, what are quantum numbers for the (a) spin-up electron and (b) spin-down electron?
In 1911, Ernest Rutherford modeled an atom as being a point of positive charge surrounded by a negative charge -ze uniformly distributed in a sphere of radius centered at the point. At distance within the sphere, the electric potential is .
