Two elements \(A\) and \(B\) with atomic numbers \(Z_{A}\) and \(Z_{B}\) are used to produce characteristic X-rays with frequencies \(v_{A}\) and \(v_{B}\) respectively. If \(Z_{A}: Z_{B}=1: 2,\) then \(v_{A}: v_{B}\) will be

  1. A \(1: \sqrt{2}\)
  2. B \(1: 8\)
  3. C \(4: 1\)
  4. D \(1: 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1: 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(Z_{A}: Z_{B}=1: 2\) We know \(v \propto Z^{2}\) Hence, \(\begin{array}{l} \frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\frac{(1)^{2}}{(2)^{2}} \\ v_{A}: v_{B}=1: 4 \end{array}\)
