Chapter 12, Problem 88

X-ray diffractometers often use metals that have had their core electrons excited as a source of X-rays. Consider the 2p ¡ 1s transition for copper, which is called the Ka transition. Calculate the wavelength of X-rays (in Å) given off by the Ka transition if the energy given off by a mole of copper atoms is 7.77 * 105 kJ.(1Å = 10-10 m)
