Answer
Moseley's major contribution to Bohr's theory was providing the first experimental evidence that the atomic number of an element is equal to its nuclear charge. This evidence was based on his discovery that the X-ray spectra of elements are characterized by a series of lines, whose wavelengths are related to the atomic number.
