Question

The wavelength of Kα X-rays of two metals ′A′ and ′B′ are and respectively, where ′R′ is Rydberg constant. The number of elements lying between ′A′ and ′B′ according to their aomic number is :

Options

A.3
B.6
C.5
D.4

Solution

= R(Z - 1)2
For wavelength of Kα n1 = 1 to n2 = 2
= R (ZA - 1)2 ................(i)
and = R[ZB - 1]2 ...............(ii)
By solving eq. (i) & (ii) we get
ZA = 26 and ZB = 31
[For elements lie between these two]
