Modern Physics 5 Question 34

37. Characteristic X-rays of frequency 4.2×1018Hz are produced when transitions from L-shell to K-shell take place in a certain target material. Use Mosley’s law to determine the atomic number of the target material. Given Rydberg’s constant R=1.1×107m1.

Solution:

  1. Mass defect in the given nuclear reaction :

Δm=2( mass of deuterium )( mass of helium )=2(2.0141)(4.0026)=0.0256

Therefore, energy released

ΔE=(Δm)(931.48)MeV=23.85MeV=23.85×1.6×1013J=3.82×1012J

Efficiency is only 25, therefore,

25=9.55×1013J

i.e, by the fusion of two deuterium nuclei, 9.55×1013J energy is available to the nuclear reactor.

Total energy required in one day to run the reactor with a given power of 200MW :

ETotal =200×106×24×3600=1.728×1013J

Total number of deuterium nuclei required for this purpose

n=ETotal ΔE/2=2×1.728×10139.55×1013=0.362×1026

Mass of deuterium required

=( Number of g-moles of deuterium required )×2g

=0.362×10266.02×1023×2=120.26g
