K(alpha) and K(beta) X-rays are emitted ...

`K_(alpha) and K_(beta)` X-rays are emitted when there is a transition of electron between the levels

A

n=2 to n=1 and n=3 to n=1, respectively

B

n=2 to n=1 and n=3 to n=2, respectively

C

n=3 to n=2 and n=4 to n=2, respectively

D

n=3 to n=2 and n=4 to n=3, respectively

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Specific charge=Charge/Mass.
The positive rays are steam of positive ions. The mass of positive ion is much more than that of electrons, hence specific charge of positive ions is less.
