The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the slope of the graph between \( \sqrt{f} \) and \( Z \) for \( K_\beta \) and \( K_\alpha \) according to Moseley's law, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Moseley's Law**: Moseley's law states that the square root of the frequency (\( \sqrt{f} \)) of the emitted X-ray is proportional to the atomic number (\( Z \)) of the element. The general formula is given by: \[ \sqrt{f} = \sqrt{R} \cdot (Z - 1) \cdot \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)} \] where \( R \) is a constant, and \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \) are principal quantum numbers. 2. **Identify Quantum Numbers for \( K_\beta \) and \( K_\alpha \)**: - For \( K_\beta \): \( n_1 = 1 \), \( n_2 = 3 \) - For \( K_\alpha \): \( n_1 = 1 \), \( n_2 = 2 \) 3. **Write the Equation for \( K_\beta \)**: \[ \sqrt{f_\beta} = \sqrt{R} \cdot (Z - 1) \cdot \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{3^2}\right)} \] Calculate the term: \[ \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{3^2} = 1 - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{8}{9} \] Thus, \[ \sqrt{f_\beta} = \sqrt{R} \cdot (Z - 1) \cdot \sqrt{\frac{8}{9}} = \sqrt{R} \cdot (Z - 1) \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3} \] 4. **Write the Equation for \( K_\alpha \)**: \[ \sqrt{f_\alpha} = \sqrt{R} \cdot (Z - 1) \cdot \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2}\right)} \] Calculate the term: \[ \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \] Thus, \[ \sqrt{f_\alpha} = \sqrt{R} \cdot (Z - 1) \cdot \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}} = \sqrt{R} \cdot (Z - 1) \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 5. **Find the Ratio \( \frac{\sqrt{f_\beta}}{\sqrt{f_\alpha}} \)**: \[ \frac{\sqrt{f_\beta}}{\sqrt{f_\alpha}} = \frac{\sqrt{R} \cdot (Z - 1) \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}}{\sqrt{R} \cdot (Z - 1) \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \] The common terms \( \sqrt{R} \) and \( (Z - 1) \) cancel out: \[ = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3} \cdot \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3\sqrt{3}} \] 6. **Simplify the Ratio**: \[ = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3\sqrt{3}} = \frac{4\sqrt{6}}{9} \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of the slope of the graph between \( \sqrt{f} \) and \( Z \) for \( K_\beta \) and \( K_\alpha \) is: \[ \frac{4\sqrt{6}}{9} \]
