Can you help me with this?

Question

elifbestegul · Answer

An atom has the following quantum levels: ground state, 3.36x10^-19 J, 4.96x10^-19 J, 5.76x10^-19 J, 5.92x10^10-19 J and 8.16x10^-19 J. The atoms are bombarded with electrons with energiesof 5.28x10-19 J. Determine the possible energies of the photons emitted.

Looks like X-ray production ... electron in, x ray photon out. I think that the electron can knock out the lowest two electrons from their energy levels. 5.28 ------ >3.36, 4.96, 5.76, 5.92, 8.16 5.28 ------ >3.36, 4.96 A couple of peaks in the overall curve - the peaks which are characteristic of the metal being bombarded by the electrons. I believe that the DISPLACED electron is called an AUGER electron, after the bloke who presumably did something with it. Reverse of photo electric effect ... photon in, electron out http://perendis.webs.com

ps
background continuous radiation from and X ray source is called, i think, "Bremsstrahlung" which is a german compound (most of them are) word meaning "breaking radiation" which is the radiation any charged particle radiates (poor thing) as it is either accelerated or decelerated.

my qu is this @osprey 

i reckon you have to work through all poss outcomes.  cos the incoming electron has the ability to blow everything out of the water.  

and that's ugly

i drew it...again :-))
