Moseley measured the frequency $(f)$ of the characteristic $X$-rays from many metals of different atomic number $(Z)$ and represented his results by a relation known as Moseley's law. This law is ($a, b$ are constants)

  • A
    $f = a(Z - b)^2$
  • B
    $Z = a(f - b)^2$
  • C
    $f^2 = a(Z - b)$
  • D
    $f = a(Z - b)^{1/2}$
