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 )

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)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Mosley's law is `f = a(Z - b)^(2)`
