X-rays - laws and theories

Moseley’s law

Moseley measured the frequencies of characteristic X-rays from large number of elements and plotted the square root of th frequency against its position number in the periodic table.

The observations can be mathematically expressed as

√(v) = a(Z-b)

v = the frequency of characteristic X-rays from the elements\
Z = atomic number
a, b are constants

Bragg’s law

2d sin θ = n λ

d = interplanar spacing of the crystal on which X-rays are incident
θ = is the incident angle at which X-rays are strongly reflected.
n = 1,2,3 …
λ = wave length of X-rays

Application of Bragg’s law:By using a monochromatic X-ray beam (having a single wave length) and noting the angles of strong reflection, the interplanar spacing d and several information about the structure of the solid can be obtained.

Concept Review Ch.44 X-Rays

Production of X-rays

When highly energetic electrons are made to strike a metal target, electromagnetic radiation comes out. A large part of this radiation has wavelength of the order 0.1 nm (appx 1 A) and is known as X-ray.

Continuous and Characteristic X-Rays

If the X-rasy coming from a coolidge tube are examined for wavelengths present, and the intensity of different wavelengths are measurea and plotted, we can observe that there is a minimum wavelength below which no X-ray is emitted.

The wavelength below which no X-rays are emitted is called the cut-off wavelength or the threshold wavelength.

From the plot it can also be observed that at certain sharply defined wavelengths, the intensity of X-rays is very large. These X-rays are called characteristic X-rays.

At other wavelengths the intensity varies gradually and these X-rays are called continuous X-rays.

K X-Rays

X-rays emitted due to electronic transition from a higher energy state to a vacancy created in the K shell are called K X-rays.

Soft and Hard X-Rays

The X-rays of low wave length are called hard X rays and X rays of large wave length are called soft X rays.

In terms of energy, harder means more energy in is each photon.

Moseley's law

Square root of frequency of X rays = a(Z-b)

√(v) = a(Z-b)

where Z = position number of element.
a and b are constants

Bragg’s law

2d sin θ = n λ

d = interplanar spacing of the crystal on which X-rays are incident
θ = is the incident angle at which X-rays are strongly reflected.
n = 1,2,3 …
λ = wave length of X-rays

Application of Bragg’s law:By using a monochromatic X-ray beam (having a single wave length) and noting the angles of strong reflection, the interplanar spacing d and several information about the structure of the solid can be obtained.


Properties of X rays

X rays are electromagnetic waves of short wave lengths.
So they have many properties common with light.

1. They travel in straight lines in vacuum at a speed equal to that of light.
2. They are diffracted by crystals according to Bragg's law.
3. x-rays do not contain charged particles. hence they are not deflected by electric or magnetic field.
4. They effect a photographic plate. The effect is stronger than light.

Properties which are different than light

1. When incident on certain materials barium platinocyanide, X rays cause fluorescence.
2. When passed through a gas, X rays ionize the molecules of the gas.

IIT JEE Physics Formula Revision 44. X-Rays

1. K = eV
where K = Kinetic energy of an electron when it hits the target
V = potential difference applied between the target and the filament

2. λ = hc/E

Where
λ = wave length of the X-ray
E = kinteic energy of the electron due to which the X-ray is emitted


3. λmin = hc/eV

λmin = cutoff wavelength below which no X-rays are emitted
V = potential difference applied between the target and the filament

4. Moseley's law

Square root of frequency of X rays = a(Z-b)

√(ν) = a(Z-b)

where
ν = frequency of X-rays
Z = position number of element.
a and b are constants

5. Bragg’s law

2d sin θ = n λ

d = interplanar spacing of the crystal on which X-rays are incident
θ = is the incident angle at which X-rays are strongly reflected.
n = 1,2,3 …
λ = wave length of X-rays

JEE question 2007 Paper I

STATEMENT-1

If the accelerating potential in an X-ray tube is increased, the wavelengths of the characteristic X-ray do not change.

because

STATEMENT-2

When an electron beam strikes the target in an X-ray tube, part of the kinetic energy is converted into X-ray energy.

(A) Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1
(B) Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1
(C) Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False
(D) Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True

Correct choice: B
----------------------------------------

JEE 2007 Paper II

Electrons with de-Broglie wavelength λ fall on the target in an X-ray tube. The cut-off wavelength of the emitted X-ray is


(A) λ-0 = 2mcλ^2/h
(B) λ-0 = 2h/mc
(C) λ-0 = 2m^2c^2λ^3/h^2
(D) λ-0 = λ

Correct Choice: A

Cut – off wavelength corresponds to applied accelerating potential (V)

λ cut-off = hc/eV
eV = (1/2)mv^2 = P^2/2m
and P = h/λ
eV = h^2/2mλ^2 =
λ cutoff = hc/(h^2/2mλ^2) = hc*2mλ^2/h^2 = 2mcλ^2/h
