Q61.Given below are two statements about X-ray spectra of elements : Statement (I) : A plot of √v ( v = frequency of X -rays emitted) vs atomic mass is a straight line. Statement (II) : A plot of v(v = frequency of X -rays emitted) vs atomic number is a straight line. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below : (1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true (2) Statement I is false but Statement II is true (3) Both Statement I and Statement II are false (4) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

What This Question Tests

This question tests the understanding of Moseley's Law, which describes the relationship between the frequency of characteristic X-rays and the atomic number of the element. It differentiates between atomic mass and atomic number's influence on X-ray spectra.
