An unknown element is used as a target in an x-ray tube


1. In 1896 Pickering found lines from the star Zeta Puppis that had not been observed on Earth. Bohr showed in 1913 that the lines were due to He+. Show that an equation giving these wavelengths is.

2. Calculate the three longest wavelengths and the series limit for the molybdenum atom.

3. An unknown element is used as a target in an x-ray tube. Measurements show that the characteristic spectral lines with the longest wavelengths are 0.155 nm and 0.131 nm. What is the element? (Hint: you will ?nd the answer to Problem 40 to be useful.)
