Question

It is observed that characteristic X-ray spectra of elements show regularity. When frequency to the power 'n' i.e. ${v}^{n}$ of X-rays emitted is plotted against atomic number $Z$ , the following graph is obtained.

It is observed that characteristic X-ray spectra of elements show regularity. When frequency to the power 'n' i.e. v ^

The value of 'n' is

Correct answer: C. (1)/(2)

The statement of moseley's law is: &ldquo;The square root of the frequency of the x-ray emitted by an atom is proportional to its atomic number&rdquo;. v ∝ Z - b So n = (1)/(2) Moseley is the scientist most directly responsible for realizing that the structure of the atom is key to understanding the elements themselves.
