X-rays
• Electron from a lower level is removed
electrons of the higher levels can come to occupy
resulting vacancy
energy is returned to the external medium as
electromagnetic radiation
• radiation called an X-ray
discovered by Roentgen in 1895
In studying x-rays radiation emitted by uranium
ores Becquerel et. al. (P. and M. Curie) discovered
radioactivity in 1896

Removal of K shell electrons
Electrons coming from the
higher levels will emit photons
while falling to this K shell
series of rays (frequency n
or wavelength l) are
noted as Ka, Kb, Kg
If the removed electrons
are from the L shell,
noted as La, Lb, Lg
In 1913 Moseley studied these
frequencies n, showing that:
n A(Z Zo )
where Z is the atomic number and, A
and Z0 are constants depending on
the observed transition.
K series, Z0 = 1, L series, Z0 = 7.4.

Forces in nature
• Four fundamental forces in nature
All interactions in the universe are the result of these forces
• Gravity
Weakest force
most significant when the interacting objects are massive,
such as planets, stars, etc.
• Weak interaction
Beta decay
• Electromagnetic force
Most observable interactions
• Strong interaction

Wavelengths and energy
• Planck evaluated minimum from DExDt when he studied the
radiation emitted by a black body at a given temperature
• Quantum called Planck’s constant h (h = 6.6 10-34 J.s).
radiation conveys energy E in the form of quanta E = hn
n the frequency of the emitted radiation
• Based on the wave mechanics worked out by de Broglie
l = h/p
l is the wavelength associated with any moving particle with
the momentum p

Particle Physics
• fundamental particles of nature and interaction
symmetries
• Particles classified as fermions or bosons
Fermions obey the Pauli principle
antisymmetric wave functions
half-integer spins
* Neutrons, protons and electrons
Bosons do not obey Pauli principle
* symmetric wave functions and integer spins
