A plot of 
against atomic number ( Z ) gave a straight line and not the plot of 
against atomic mass. Which of the following scientist observed such regularities in the characteristics X ‐ ray spectra of the element 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
In 
the English physicist Henry Moseley observed regularities in the characteristic 
‐ ray spectra of the element. A plot of 
(where 
is frequency of 
‐ rays emitted) against atomic number ( z ) gave a straight line and not the plot of 
vs atomic mass.
