Predicting the wavelength of x-ray using the Bohr Model
« on: September 08, 2009, 03:51:32 AM »
Hey all,

My chemistry homework asks me to use the Bohr model to predict the wavelength (in angstroms) of the x-ray produced by a Mo anode, but I don't understand how the Bohr model can be used to do this. The problem claims that x-ray wavelengths are found to follow the Bohr model for nuclear charge Z with n1=1 and n2=2, but whenever I try to solve this I get a ridiculous answer. Can someone please point me in the right direction as to how to solve this problem?

Thanks for the help.
