Gokul43201 - XRAY QUESTION Thank you for your reply, very helpful and informative. I believe I understood most of what you described below but am still a bit fuzzy on the overall concept... Gokul, is there any sort of similar 'thing' to a K or L in nature, some sort of analogy to understand...

XRAY Question - Inha thank you very much for your reply! So then K and L are simply physical positions of displacement?

INTEGRAL - Regarding 1/SQRT(a*b) Thank you very much for your timely, thoughtful and instructive response. I am new here, I realize your patience with me and will do my very best to behave and communicate in a manner that is inline with this communitys protocols and comfort requirements...

Hi, I am an amateur to physics, am trying to understand what Mosely actually did when he used 'K' and 'L' waves to derive atomic numbers of elements. Can someone please tell me what exactly the 'K' and 'L' waves are, respectively? What is a 'K' wave and what does it measure? What is a 'L'...

Before we begin, recall the simple formulas; for reference see http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/EDDOCS/wavelength.html Velocity / Wave Length = Frequency (Hertz) Speed of the wave = Frequency x Wavelength Wavelength = Speed of the wave / Frequency AND Where TIME is the RECIPROCAL of...
