1.5 An x-ray spectrum is obtained when a molybdenum target is bombarded with high energy electrons accelerated through a certain potential. The spectrum consists of two characteristic peaks, superimposed on a broad continuous range of wavelengths.

i) Give the name of the broad part of spectrum and explain its origin

ii) The peaks in the x-ray spectrum for molybdenum correspond to K, series transition of wavelengths of 0.0632nm and 0.0709nm. If the K-shell ionization energy is 20keV, find the ionisation energies of the L and M shells. Draw a diagram of the transitions to include Kalpha and Kbeta
