For characteristic XX-ray of some material
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
λ(Kγ)<λ(Kβ)<λ(Kα)\lambda \left( {{K_\gamma }} \right) < \lambda \left( {{K_\beta }} \right) < \lambda \left( {{K_\alpha }} \right)
Option D (λ(Mα)<λ(Lα)<λ(Kα)\lambda \left( {{M_\alpha }} \right) < \lambda \left( {{L_\alpha }} \right) < \lambda \left( {{K_\alpha }} \right)) is correct because the energy of the transitions increases as you move closer to the nucleus (K shell), and since energy and wavelength are inversely proportional, the wavelength decreases.
