Question: A 5 0 keV x - ray interacts photoelectrically with ( a ) a carbon atom and ( b ) a barium atom. What is

A 50 keV x-ray interacts photoelectrically with (a) a carbon atom and (b) a barium atom.
What is the kinetic energy of each photoelectron.
What is the energy of each characterstic x-ray if an L to K transition occur. (given: for carbon : K-shell electorn binding energy 0.3 keV , L-shell electorn binding energy 0.006 keV .
for barium : K-shell electorn binding energy 37 keV , L-shell electorn binding energy 5.9 keV )
A 5 0 keV x - ray interacts photoelectrically
