Moseley’s law states that if we plot the square root of the frequency of the Kα X-ray photons from various targets against the atomic number Z of the target, the graph is linear given by
√f = a(Z−b)
where a and b are constants called proportionality and screening (or shielding) constants. For Kα series, the value of a is √(3Rc/4) and that of b is 1. Here R is Rydberg's constant and c is speed of light. Find the wavelength of the Kα X-ray photons when the target is Molybdenum.
A) 194 pm
B) 72 pm
C) 154 pm
D) none of these
(c) The kinetic energy, Kr, of electrons emitted from a metal surface after irradiation
with UV light of wavelength λ is given by:
hc
K₁=-=-
where h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10-4 Js), c is the speed of light in a vacuum
(2.99 x 108 m s¹), and is the work function of the metal surface.
In a specific experiment, light with a wavelength of 266 nm was used to irradiate a
cadmium (Cd) metal surface.
(i)
Calculate the photon energy of the light used in the experiment, in Joules.
(II)
The work function for cadmium is 4.08 eV. Calculate the kinetic energy of the
emitted electrons.
[Note: 1 eV = 1.60 x 10-19 J.)
Show that at long wavelengths, Planck’s radiation law (as shown) reduces to the Rayleigh–Jeans law (as shown).
