The energy of the emitted X-rays depends upon the _________ of the atom and their intensity depends upon the __________
A. Atomic number, amount of sample
B. Mass number, amount of sample
C. Mass number, concentration of atoms
D. Atomic number, concentration of atoms
Answer:D
The energy of the emitted X-rays depends upon the _________ of the atom and their intensity depends upon the __________
A. Atomic number, amount of sample B. Mass number, amount of sample C. Mass number, concentration of atoms D. Atomic number, concentration of atoms
Explanation: The energy of the emitted X-rays depends upon the atomic number of the atom and their intensity depends upon the concentration of atoms in the sample. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is based on this principle.
