Solid targets of different elements are bombarded by highly energetic electron beams. The frequency $(f)$ of the characteristic $X-$rays emitted from different targets varies with atomic number $Z$ as

  • A
    $f \propto \sqrt{Z}$
  • B
    $f \propto Z^2$
  • C
    $f \propto Z$
  • D
    $f \propto Z^{3/2}$
