Open questionXE-CMCQ1 markNeeds review
A Pb-Sn sample of eutectic composition, containing α- and β- phases, is examined in a scanning electron microscope. The α-phase contains ~97 wt% Pb (atomic number 82) while β-phase contains ~99 wt% Sn (atomic number 50). The ratio of number of backscattered electrons escaping from α-phase to that from β-phase would be:
