Question

In Mosley's equation, $\sqrt{v}=a\left(Z-b\right)$ , which was derived from the observations made during the bombardment of the metal target with $X$ -rays

• A. $a$ is independent but $b$ depends on the metal
• B. Both $a$ and $b$ are independent of the metal
• C. Both $a$ and $b$ depends on the metal
• D. $b$ is independent but $a$ depends on the metal

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$a$ is proportionality constant and $b$ depends on the type of $X$ -ray.
