Question
The ratio of wavelengths of Kα-characteristic X-rays produced when iron (Z = 26) and scandium (Z = 21) are used as anticathode is
Options
A.26: 21
B.4: 5
C.16: 25
D.25: 16
Solution
$\sqrt{\frac{c}{\lambda}} = a(z - b)$
$\therefore\frac{\lambda_{\text{iron}}}{\lambda_{\text{scandium}}} = \frac{(21 - 1)^{2}}{(26 - 1)^{2}} = \frac{16}{25}$
