What is the core concept of Moseley's Law?
Energy of an X-ray is proportional to atomic number
Velocity of light is constant
Energy is always conserved
Gravity affects time and space
Answer
Moseley's law is a relationship between the wavelength of an X-ray and the atomic number of the element it was emitted from. The law states that the wavelength of the X-ray is inversely proportional to the square root of the atomic number of the element. This means that as the atomic number increases, the wavelength of the X-ray decreases.
