The equation for the energy of a K« x – ray is Exa = (10.2 eV)(Z – 1)2. Explain where
the 10.2 eV comes from and why the effective value of Z is Z – 1.
A hypothetical atom has only two atomic energy levels, separated by 3.2 eV. Suppose that at a certain altitude in the atmosphere of a star there are 6.1 * 1013/cm3 of these atoms in the higher-energy state and 2.5 * 1015/cm3 in the lower-energy state. What is the temperature of the star’s atmosphere at that altitude?
