Explanation Given info: Frequency of the x-ray is 2 × 10 19 Hz . Write an expression to calculate the kinetic energy of the emitted electron. E = e V (1) Here, E is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron e is the charge of electron V is the voltage applied to the x-ray tube. Write an expression to calculate the kinetic energy of the emitted electron. E = h f (2) Here, h is the Planck constant f is the frequency Compare equation (1) and (2) e V = h f (3) Rearrange equation (3) to find the voltage applies to the x-ray tube. V = h f e Substitute 1.602 × 10 − 19 C for e , 6.626 × 10 − 34 m 2 kg/s for h and 2 × 10 19 Hz for f to find V

Atomic Spectra

According to the Bohr model of an atom, the electron in an atom moves around a nucleus in fixed orbits with specific energies known as energy levels. The orbital energies are quantized. The electrons remain in these energy levels until they emit or absor…

Ruby Lasers

Lasers are devices that emit light using atoms or molecules at a certain wavelength and amplify the light to produce a narrow beam of radiation. It works as per the principle of electromagnetic radiation. Their source of emission contains the same freque…

Balmer Series

The spectrum of frequency observed when electromagnetic radiation is emitted from an atom when it goes from higher energy state to lower state, is known as emission spectrum. This transition occurs when an excited electron moves from higher to lower stat…

Emission Spectrum

Every state of matter tries to be at minimum potential energy or it can be said that the atoms of element/ substance arrange themselves such that overall energy is minimum.

1) If an arm of a patient is to be imaged with a narrow beam of X-ray with 10000 photons at 100 keV. The total thickness of the arm is 8 cm with the bone thickness to be 3 cm and the muscle thickness 5 cm. Assuming HVL values of muscle and bone are 2.5 and 1 cm at 100 keV, respectively. How many photons are absorbed by the arm?

A “clever” technician decides to heat some water for his coffee with an x-ray machine. If the machine produces 10 rad/s, how long will it take to raise the temperature of a cup of water by 50°C? Ignore heat losses during this time.
