(a) Define ionization potential.

(b)(i) State the three types of emission spectra.

(ii) Name one source each which produces each of the spectra stated in (b)(i).

(c) In an x-ray tube, electrons are accelerated the target by a potential difference of 80 A Calculate the:

(i) speed of the electron;

ii) threshold wavelength of the electron. [h=6.6 x 10\(^{-34}\) Js; e = 1.6 x 10\(^{-19}\) C; Me = 9.1 x 10\(^{-31}\)

d) An x-ray photon of frequency 4.5 x 10\(^{-18}\) strikes an. electron, assumed to be at rest. If t electron absorbs all the photon energy, calculate the speed acquired by the electron. [ h = 6.6 x 10\(^{-34}\) Js; Me = 9.1 x 10\(^{-31}\) kg ]
