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)`

A circle is the locus of a point in a plane such that its distance from a fixed point in the plane is constant. Anologously, a sphere is the locus of a point in space such that its distance from a fixed point in space in constant. The fixed point is called the centre and the constant distance is called the radius of the circle/sphere. In anology with the equation of the circle |z-c|=a , the equation of a sphere of radius is |r-c|=a , where c is the position vector of the centre and r is the position vector of any point on the surface of the sphere. In Cartesian system, the equation of the sphere, with centre at (-g, -f, -h) is x^2+y^2+z^2+2gx+2fy+2hz+c=0 and its radius is sqrt(f^2+g^2+h^2-c) . Q. Equation of the sphere having centre at (3, 6, -4) and touching the plane rcdot(2hat(i)-2hat(j)-hat(k))=10 is (x-3)^2+(y-6)^2+(z+4)^2=k^2 , where k is equal to
