  2. Characteristic X-ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_X-ray

    This choice also places K-alpha firmly in the X-ray energy range. Similarly to Lyman-alpha, the K-alpha emission is composed of two spectral lines, K-alpha 1 (Kα 1) and K-alpha 2 (Kα 2). [6] The K-alpha 1 emission is slightly higher in energy (and, thus, has a lower wavelength) than the K-alpha 2 emission.

  3. Spectral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line

    The higher the temperature of the gas, the wider the distribution of velocities in the gas. Since the spectral line is a combination of all of the emitted radiation, the higher the temperature of the gas, the broader the spectral line emitted from that gas. This broadening effect is described by a Gaussian profile and there is no associated shift.

  4. Schwarzschild's equation for radiative transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild's_equation...

    Several sources [2] [12] [3] replace nσ λ with k λ r, where k λ is the absorption coefficient per unit density and r is the density of the gas. The absorption coefficient for spectral flux (a beam of radiation with a single wavelength, [W/m 2 /μm]) differs from the absorption coefficient for spectral intensity [W/sr/m 2 /μm] used in ...

  5. K-line (spectrometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-line_(spectrometry)

    K-line in spectrometry refers to one of two different spectral features: The calcium K line, one of the pair of Fraunhofer lines in the violet associated with ionised calcium The x-ray peak ( K-line (x-ray) ) associated with iron

  6. Rydberg formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_formula

    In 1890, Rydberg proposed on a formula describing the relation between the wavelengths in spectral lines of alkali metals. [2]: v1:376 He noticed that lines came in series and he found that he could simplify his calculations using the wavenumber (the number of waves occupying the unit length, equal to 1/λ, the inverse of the wavelength) as his unit of measurement.

  7. Moseley's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moseley's_law

    Since the spectral emissions for the lighter elements would be in the soft X-ray range (absorbed by air), the spectrometry apparatus had to be enclosed inside a vacuum. [4] Details of the experimental setup are documented in the journal articles "The High-Frequency Spectra of the Elements" Part I [ 1 ] and Part II.

  8. Kramers' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kramers'_law

    The formula for Kramers' law is usually given as the distribution of intensity (photon count) against the wavelength of the emitted radiation: [2] = () The constant K is proportional to the atomic number of the target element, and λ min {\displaystyle \lambda _{\text{min}}} is the minimum wavelength given by the Duane–Hunt law .

  9. Decomposition of spectrum (functional analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition_of_spectrum...

    All three types of measures are invariant under linear operations. Let H ac be the subspace consisting of vectors whose spectral measures are absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Define H pp and H sc in analogous fashion. These subspaces are invariant under T. For example, if h ∈ H ac and k = T h.
