Answer

$17.46\;keV$

Work Step by Step

The wavelength corresponding to the $K_\alpha$ radiation is: $\lambda_\alpha=71.0\;pm$ Therefore, the photon energy corresponding to the $K_\alpha$ radiation is: $E_\alpha=\frac{hc}{\lambda_\alpha}$ or, $E_\alpha=\frac{1240\;keV-pm}{\lambda_\alpha\;(pm)}$ or, $E_\alpha=\frac{1240\;keV-pm}{71.0\;pm}$ or, $E_\alpha=17.46\;keV$
