Problem 6.141

Find the binding energy of an \(L\) electron in titanium if the wavelength difference between the first line of the \(K\) series and its short-wave cut-off is \(\Delta \lambda=26 \mathrm{pm}\)

Reveal Answer
EL=ω(2πc/ωΔλ1)0.5keV, where ω=3/4R(Z1)2E_{L}=\hbar \omega(2 \pi c / \omega \Delta \lambda-1) \approx 0.5 \mathrm{keV}, \quad \text { where } \quad \omega=3 / 4 R(Z-1)^{2}
