Solid targets of different elements are ...

Solid targets of different elements are bombarded by highly energetic electron beam. The frequcny `(f)` of the characteristic `X`-rays emitted from different targets varies with atomic number `Z` as

A

`f prop sqrtZ`

B

`f prop Z^2`

C

`f prop Z`

D

`f prop Z^(3//2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As `lamda prop 1/Z^2 implies f prop Z^2`
