Question
The Kβ X-rays from certain elements are given below. Draw a Moseley-type plot of √v versus Z for Kβ radiation.
| Element | Ne | P | Ca | Mn | Zn | Br |
| Energy (keV) | 0.858 | 2.14 | 4.02 | 6.51 | 9.57 | 13.3 |
Solution
We can directly get value of v by energy frequency relation.
hv = energy
Here, h = Planck's constant
`v = "Energy (in keV)"/h`
The required graph is as follows :
