Let ${\lambda _\alpha }$,${\lambda _\beta }$ and ${\lambda '_\alpha }$ denote the wavelengths of the $X-$ rays of the ${K_\alpha }, {K_\beta }$ and ${L_\alpha }$ lines in the characteristic $X-$ rays for a metal.

  • A
    ${\lambda _\alpha } > {\lambda '_\alpha } > {\lambda _\beta }$
  • B
    ${\lambda '_\alpha } > {\lambda _\beta } > {\lambda _\alpha }$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{{{\lambda _\beta }}} = \frac{1}{{{\lambda _\alpha }}} + \frac{1}{{{{\lambda '}_\alpha }}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{{{\lambda _\alpha }}} + \frac{1}{{{\lambda _\beta }}} = \frac{1}{{{{\lambda '}_\alpha }}}$
