E_n = E_1 * (Z)^2/n^2
Not
E_n = Z^2/(n^2 * E_1) | | Poop Loops 2008-10-05 12:40:06 | Basically, you are using Moseley's Law:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model#Moseley.27s_law_and_calculation_of_K-alpha_X-ray_emission_lines
Where a K X-ray is emitted when you go from 2nd shell down to 1st shell.
So you take with some constant out front that will cancel to get the energy for an atom, and Z = 6 for one and Z = 12 for the other, so you get
And of course cancels, so you get which is almost 1/5, not quite the right answer, but close enough to 1/4. | | Jeremy 2007-10-30 12:18:12 | Typo: should be (...though I don't see why this is needed in solving the problem).
A nice, concise background is given on Wikipedia about Moseley's " target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moseley%27s_law">Moseley's Law. In particular, the derivation section ties this back into the more familiar realm of Bohr theory.

These jump to the lowest level () and since is small for large , one can readily neglect its contribution to the total transition energy and only account for the final level they jumped to, i.e. for | | Mexicana 2007-10-04 13:36:36 | The way to justify the method of Yosun is to realise that K shell X-rays are produced by the transition of atomic electrons which were on the highest energy levels of that atom.

$\sqrt{ν}$=a(Z-b) where for K lines,b~1.
And,E=hν of course
This calculation shows that E(C)/E(Mg)=25/121
~(1/5)
Which rather matches (A)

that seems very just....
