    Solid targets of different elements are bombarded by highly energetic electron beams. The frequency (\[=1.2\times {{10}^{12}}{{m}^{-3}}\]) of the characteristic X-rays emitted from different targets varies with atomic number Z as:

    A) \[f\propto \sqrt{Z}\]     

    B) \[f\propto {{Z}^{2}}\]    

    C) \[f\propto Z\]   

    D)                       \[f\propto {{Z}^{3/2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Moseleys law is an empirical law concerning the characteristic electromagnetic spectrum that is absorbed or emitted by atoms. Using X-ray diffraction techniques Moseley found that most intense short wavelength line in the X-ray spectrum of a particular element is related to the elements atomic number Z as follows \[F=ma=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[F\Delta T=m\Delta v=\Delta p\]
