Question:

(a) Compute the energy of an electron in the n = 1 (K shell) of tungsten, using Z - 1 for the effective nuclear charge. 

(b) The experimental result for this energy is 69.5 keV. Assume that the effective nuclear charge is Z - σ, where s is called the screening constant, and calculate s from the experimental result.
