Vedclass · Answer

(D) Characteristic $X$-rays are produced when an electron from a higher energy shell transitions to a vacancy in an inner shell of an atom.
For the $K$-series,the vacancy is in the $n = 1$ shell.
The specific transitions are defined as follows:
$K_{\alpha}: n = 2 	o n = 1$
$K_{\beta}: n = 3 	o n = 1$
$K_{\gamma}: n = 4 	o n = 1$
As shown in the diagram,the $K_{\gamma}$ transition corresponds to an electron moving from the $n = 4$ shell to the $n = 1$ shell.
Therefore,the correct option is $(D)$.

For the production of characteristic $K_{\gamma}$ $X$-ray,the electron transition is:
