When copper is bombarded with high-energy electrons, X rays are emitted. Calculate the energy (in joules) associated with the photons if the wavelength of the X rays is 0.154 nm.

The energy associated with the photons of X rays with a wavelength of 0.154 nm is 1.29 × 10⁻¹⁵ J.

When copper is bombarded with high-energy electrons, X rays, with a wavelength of 0.154 nm (λ) are emitted.

We can calculate the energy (E) associated with the photons of these X rays using the Planck-Einstein relation.

where,

The energy associated with the photons of X rays with a wavelength of 0.154 nm is 1.29 × 10⁻¹⁵ J.

E = 12.92 × 10^(-16) J

Explanation:

Formula for energy is;

E = hc/λ

Where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.63 x 10^(-34) J.s

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

λ is wavelength = 0.154 nm = 0.154 × 10^(-9) m

E = (6.63 x 10^(-34) × 3 × 10^(8))/(0.154 × 10^(-9))

E = 12.92 × 10^(-16) J
