Question

Henry Moseley plotted a graph between root of v and Z, where v was the frequency of X-ray emitted by an atom and Z was its atomic number. This graph showed that?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Moseley's Law describes the relationship between atomic number and frequency of a spectral line of characteristic X-rays. When the square root of the frequencies of the characteristic X-rays from the elements is plotted against the atomic number, a straight line is obtained following the equation:

ν

=a(Z−b). So, this will never touch the origin.
