The x-ray spectrum is for 35.0 keV electrons striking a molybdenum (Z= 42) target. If you substitute a silver (Z = 47) target for the molybdenum target, will (a) lmin, (b) the wavelength for the Ka line, and (c) the wavelength for the Kb line increase, decrease, or remain unchanged?
X-ray is produced by bombarding a tungsten target with high energy electrons accelerated by 8.8 kV of voltage. Use σ = 1 for the electron transition down to K shell (n = 1) and σ = 7.4 for the electron transition down to L shell (n = 2) for characteristic X-ray.
What is the kinetic energy of electrons accelerated by 8.8 kV of high voltage? Assume that the initial speed of electrons emitted from a filament by thermionic emission is zero.

You can find the error in both parts, (a) and
(b). The arrows labeled "emission" in (a), and
all the arrows in (b), indicate a transition in
which an electron jumps from a higher-
energy state to a lower-energy state. The
different "series" of emission lines are
characterized by the index n of the low-
energy state in which the electron ends up.
In particular, the Lyman series consists of all
transitions that end up in the n=1 energy
level, with an initial energy level that
corresponds to the label n = 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
One of these values of n is not shown as an
arrow in the Lyman emission series in figures
(a) or (b). This is a significant error because
that particular spectral line is very important
in astronomy.

(B) Scandium is in Group 3, and atoms only lose the number of electrons that will result in a noble gas electron configuration. 6 (C) The amount of energy required to remove an electron from the 3d sublevel is close to that for the 4s sublevel, but significantly more Energy is needed to remove electrons from the 3p sublevel.
