Solution

The correct option is D $\sqrt{f} a g a i n s t Z$
When the square root of the frequencies of the characteristic x-rays from the elements is plotted against the atomic number, a straight line is obtained. Moseley measured and plotted the x-ray frequencies for about 40 of the elements of the periodic table. He showed that the K-alpha x-rays followed a straight line when the atomic number Z versus the square root of frequency was plotted
The relation he found was $\sqrt{f} = a (Z - b)$ ,where a, b are constant.
