A certain element has an atomic number z = 38. Using the Bohr model estimate the wavelength of the Ka X-ray
For an electronic transition from state n2 to n1 wavelength of the photon emitted is given by
Z is the atomic number of the element and R is Rydberg constant.
For transition takes place from n2=2 to n1=1
Also we must take in account the screening effect of the electrons which reduce the effective nuclear charge from Z to Z-1
So we have
