Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The energy level diagram of an atom with one electron knowed out is shown above.

Energy of , `K_(alpha)` X-ray is `E_(Kalpha) = E_(L) - E_(K)`
and of `E_(beta)` X-ray is `E_(Kbeta) = E_(M) - E_(K)`
and of `L_(alpha)` X-rays is `E_(Lalpha) = E_(M) - E_(L)`
thus `E_(Kbeta) = E_(Kalpha) + E_(Lalpha)` or `v_(Kbeta) = v_(Kalpha) + v_(Lalpha)`
