a) Give the two most frequently used X-sources for XPS and explain why these are favored. (b) An X-ray photoelectron was found to have kinetic energy 1073.5 eV when an X-source (λ = 9.89 Å) was employed. We know the work functions of the sample and the electron spectrometer, which are 4.5 eV and 14.8 eV, respectively. Calculated the binding energy for the emitted electrons
