Question

Atomic Spectra and X-rays

The approximate energies of the \(K_{\alpha} \text { and } K_{\beta}\) X-rays for copper are \(E_{K_{\alpha}}=8.00 \mathrm{keV}\) and \(E_{K_{\beta}}=9.48 \mathrm{keV}\), respectively. Determine the ratio of X-ray frequencies of gold to copper, then use this value to estimate the corresponding energies of \(K_{\alpha} \text { and } K_{\beta}\) X-rays for gold.
