Mosley measured the frequency (f) of the characteristic X-rays from many metals of different atomic number (Z) and represented his results by a relation known as Mosley's law. This law is (a, b are constants)         [MP PMT 1994; RPMT 1996]

A)            \[f=a{{(Z-b)}^{2}}\]           

B)            \[Z=a{{(f-b)}^{2}}\]

C)            \[{{f}^{2}}=a(Z-b)\]           

D)            \[f=a{{(Z-b)}^{1/2}}\]
