Dual Nature Of Light Question 532

Question: The wavelength of $ {K_{\alpha }} $ line for an element of atomic number 43 is l. Then the wavelength of $ {K_{\alpha }} $ line for an element of atomic number 29 is

Options:

A) $ \frac{43}{29}\lambda $

B) $ \frac{42}{28}\lambda $

C) $ \frac{9}{4}\lambda $

D) $ \frac{4}{9}\lambda $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \lambda ,\propto \frac{1}{{{(Z-1)}^{2}}} $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{\lambda_{2}}}{{\lambda_{1}}}={{( \frac{Z_{1}-1}{Z_{2}-1} )}^{2}} $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{\lambda_{2}}}{\lambda }={{( \frac{43-1}{29-1} )}^{2}}={{( \frac{42}{28} )}^{2}} $
Þ $ {\lambda_{2}}=\frac{9}{4}\lambda $ .
