The energy of a characteristic x-ray photon created
when an L shell electron fills a K shell vacancy in a
tungsten atom will have which of the following energies?
,2|Page
a. 69.5 keV
b. 57.5 keV
c. 91.5 keV
d. 12 keV - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ b. 57.5 keV
The energy of characteristic photons is determined by
the difference in binding energies between the two
electron shells involved in the process, which in this
question are K and L shells. 69.5 (K shell) minus 12 (L
shell) equals 57.5.
