Thank you, this would make it exactly right. I'm still not entirely sure how the screening constant (σ) is calculated if the energy E is unknown. How would you do it? I tried with Slater's rules but I couldn't get it right. Thanks a lot for the help!

This should be easy but I'm totally stuck here. So I'm calculating the Kβ line (emitted energy) of Molybdenum (Mo 42). I'm using Moseley's law and am moving from the M-shell to the K-shell. Recall Moseley's law is E = 13.6 eV (Z-σ)2 *1/n2. The effective formula for the energy emitted is thus...
